· Maker Club (during and afterschool)

What other Schools are saying about our Scratch Arduino Robotics and Coding System:
Good morning all,  STEM in a Box is running a Professional Development...This will be a valuable experience for anyone who is running STEM style classes or implementing the Digital Technologies curriculum… The Arduino based platform used is very simple to pickup and use and accessible to students  from early primary to senior. As it is all open source you use SCRATCH for beginners and Arduino IDE for more advanced students...We currently use this platform in our STEM classes and it has shown to be very successful thus far. 
Kindly Yours, Tim Mitchell, STEM Coordinator, Windaroo Valley State High School, txmit1@eq.edu.au
