School Robotics Programmes

In-school courses · Team training · Competition coaching

Designed and taught personally by Cloof Siu (蕭振平), advisor of the EdUHK Robotics Team, supported by the Makerholic team — for Hong Kong primary and secondary schools: in-school robotics courses, year-round school team training, competition coaching and teacher workshops.

Four things we do for schools

In-school robotics courses

Graded tracks in micro:bit, SPIKE, Arduino and Python, from primary through senior secondary. Built as 8–12 lesson cycles that run on your school’s existing kits — and grow into a sustainable school-based curriculum.

For: regular lessons / co-curricular / enrichment

Year-round team training

A full-year school team plan: member selection, weekly training, equipment planning and pre-competition camp. Start a robotics team at your school from zero and build a sustainable pipeline of teams.

For: schools building a STEM signature programme

Competition coaching

Coaching experience across Robocon, MakeX, VEX, the Hong Kong Engineering Challenge and IET / MATE ROV — from strategy analysis and simulated matches to full on-site support at the arena.

For: school teams / competition squads / inter-school events

Teacher workshops & talks

Hands-on sessions for staff development days, such as “How to start a robotics team from zero” — lessons from four seasons of Robocon plus practical, school-ready plans.

For: whole staff / STEM panel / ICT panel

Real experience, not talk

FAQ

How many students per class? What equipment?

Typically 10–15 students working in small groups. Lessons can run on the kits your school already owns (micro:bit / SPIKE / Arduino / LEGO etc.); if procurement is needed we provide an equipment list with practical advice.

Can school funding / grants be used?

Yes. Many schools pay through the IT Innovation Lab scheme, Other Learning Experiences (OLE) or STEM-related grants; quotation documents are formatted to fit school reporting requirements.

Can we try it first for free?

Yes. Schools can start with a free 90-minute demo lesson to see the classroom vibe and student response before planning anything further.

Any free resources?

Yes — the DSE ICT simulators on this site (machine learning, network protocols and more) are free for all teachers and students in Hong Kong to use directly in class.
