START WITH YOUR SCHOOL’S GOAL

A meaningful next step.
For your students. For your school.

Build a program around the time, devices and teaching team you have. Begin with a focused group, then extend the learning as students develop.

01 / CLASSROOM

Bring STEM concepts to life.

Connect science and maths ideas with building, coding and testing. Combine guided digital learning with teacher-led discussion and practical exploration.

02 / CLUB & EXTENSION

Make room for deeper thinking.

Use a regular STEM club or extension group for creative projects, logic missions and more demanding robot challenges. Progress by readiness and experience.

03 / COMPETITION TEAM

Give learning a bigger stage.

Develop skills through regular lessons, then prepare eligible projects for the UNSW Robotics Coding Challenge and international pathways such as IYRC.

ROBOTICS CURRICULUM FOR SCHOOLS

Plan a first robotics lesson your team can deliver.

Choose a project that matches your students, equipment and teaching time. These are example starting points for a classroom, STEM club or after-school program, rather than a compulsory course sequence.

BUILD & INVESTIGATE · ROBOTICS 101

How does a mechanism change movement?

Follow a model guide, predict what will move and compare what happens when a build changes. Ask students to explain the role of the parts they used.

Prepare: the matching 101 kit, model guide, shared workspace and teacher supervision.

Explore Robotics 101 →

CODE & TEST · ROBOTICS 402

Can your robot follow your instructions?

Use Scratch robot coding to predict, test and improve a robot response. Change one part of the program, compare the result and explain what changed.

Prepare: a compatible Node mainboard and robot parts, a supported device and the connection required by the selected lesson.

Explore Robotics 402 →

TRAIN & COMPARE · AI 451

How can a trained model control a robot?

Explore AI Stage 1 by training a model, testing how it responds and connecting the result to robot control. Discuss why training examples and test conditions matter.

Prepare: the equipment and camera access required by the chosen 451 activity, suitable robot hardware and the relevant coding foundations.

CONTENT FOR STUDENTS. VISIBILITY FOR TEACHERS.

Less starting
from scratch.
More teaching.

Use prepared lessons and a teacher portal to support your program. MRT coordinates school setup, class groups and access with your nominated contact.

Request a teacher portal walkthrough ↗
You bring the teaching.

Choose the session, guide discussion, support individual learners and supervise practical work. Ask about individual or group teacher training for your selected program.

01Find your classes & students

View the configured class groups and student lists for your school program. Confirm teacher responsibilities and account setup during onboarding.

02Help students get started

Use student accounts and printable login cards to support classroom access. MRT can help prepare the setup for your agreed student group.

03Review learning progress

Check available coding and robotics course progress alongside maths learning information. Use it to spot where students may need support or a new challenge.

04Bring evidence to the next conversation

Review available student reports when planning feedback, follow-up practice or a discussion with families. Agree any parent-report arrangements with the school and MRT.

Portal actions and reports depend on the configured school access, activity and user role. A walkthrough lets your team check the workflow before rollout.

BEFORE YOUR FIRST CLASS

Clear answers.
A confident next step.

Can we start with just one class or club?

Yes. Plan a focused pilot with your year levels, student group and timetable. Confirm the selected courses, access period and price with MRT before rollout.

Which year levels and courses are available?

Maths is developed from Kindergarten through Year 10. Robotics spans 001 to 501, including the 402 Scratch-to-AI pathway and 451 AI Stage 1. Coding and typing-based courses support different levels of experience. AI Stages 2 and 3 are in development.

What does the teacher portal do?

The portal displays configured classes, student lists, login cards, available progress and reports. MRT coordinates initial setup and access. Ask for a walkthrough to check the workflow for your school.

Do teachers need to be robotics experts?

Prepared lessons help teachers get started, but teachers still prepare sessions and supervise students. Discuss individual or group teacher training and the requirements of your chosen equipment with MRT.

Do we need robot kits to begin?

Digital maths and coding provide a starting point without robot kits. Physical building and robot control require compatible kits and mainboards. 401 and 402 share robot models but use different boards and coding environments.

What is included in the price?

The published platform rate is A$33 per student per term, including GST. Confirm agreed course access and setup in your school quote. Robot kits, teacher training, competition entry and travel are separate.

Can we use an invoice or purchase order?

Provide your school billing contact and purchase-order requirements in the registration form. MRT will confirm the quotation and billing arrangements with your school.

Can students prepare for national and international competitions?

Yes. Use lessons to build skills and prepare eligible projects for the UNSW Robotics Coding Challenge and international pathways such as IYRC. Each organiser sets current entry rules, categories, equipment requirements and dates.

How are parents involved?

Agree the school’s preferred learning-report arrangements with MRT. Keep school contact information current and decide how teachers will discuss student progress with families.

What if students already use MRT at a centre or at home?

Let MRT know during onboarding so existing account and access arrangements can be checked before school setup. This helps coordinate the student’s learning across settings.
