Robotics at Aberdour

At Aberdour, through integrated STEAM learning and individual exploration, our pupils develop a range of problem solving skills that will benefit them throughout their academic and working lives.

We are fortunate to have a STEAM Innovations Studio where pupils can use robotics, coding, programming and 3D printing. Children interested in robotics can join our afterschool Robotics Club and the children have been able to compete in the FIRST LEGO League Robotics Championships.
