• Investigate, strategise, design, build, program, and test their robotic inventions
• Search the web, talk to scientists, visit the library, and develop compelling research presentations which relate to a problem or opportunity facing the world today
• Develop employment and life skills including critical thinking, time management, collaboration, and communication while becoming more self confident
• Compete with peers in high energy, sports-like tournaments
