At Southampton Robotics Outreach, we organise robotics events to inspire and promote Engineering and Computer Science. Things we do:

• Play with expensive robot hardware
• Build industry-standard hardware and software
• Run big competitions & events
• Teach & inspire students interested in STEM

The highlight of our year is the Computing, Electronics and Robotics Summer School in August. It's a 5-day residential robotics course where 16 teams of 6th form students learn how to build and compete a robot all within the week.

We also run workshops for children as young as 8 using a variety of robot types. Things we've done in the past:

• A workshop at the National Scout Rifle Shooting Championships using our summer school demo robots
• Teaching Winchester cubs to make Lego robots follow a path along a table
• A drop-in robotics stand in Westquay shopping centre

Everyone is welcome in our robotics community. No matter if you’ve never seen a robot, or if you have built a functioning 3D printer, come and join in! We're on Discord: https://discord.gg/hfjQ3kqwXc

We hold weekly sessions at 18:00 on Wednesdays in B32/3077, starting after welcome week, and usually go to the pub for dinner afterwards. We are a friendly bunch - come along and say hello!
