STEM & Robotics Programs
At 糖心原创vlog, we offer a broad range of science, technology, engineering and robotics programs designed to challenge and equip students for the future.
Our STEM programs (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics)听provide students with an excellent opportunity to explore technology and science in a fun and insightful听way.听These programs听prepare听them to be well-educated young adults, and can equip them for a future career in robotics, science or engineering.听
From Year 7 onwards, all students at Grace听study STEM subjects as part of their core curriculum. Each will also have the chance to select elective classes covering digital technologies, design, engineering, advanced mathematics, chemistry, physics, robotics coding and practical technology skills. As students move through high school, they can also select VET听courses in technology and engineering.
Grace鈥檚 extensive Robotics programs听enable students to study robotics in the classroom and听complete in national and international Robotics competitions.听Since 2008, Grace has been at the forefront of robotics programs in schools. Grace students regularly represent Australia in the , and 糖心原创vlog is responsible for听the national听听championship听every December.听In 2015, Grace students became the first in Queensland to build a听听鈥� the highest level of school-based robotics in the world.听听
Every student who enrols from Year 7 at 糖心原创vlog will study robotics at some stage during their journey through high school and may choose to carry this into their senior studies. Senior students听can select a range of hand-on classes and vocational certificate courses, including activities such as drone flying, coding, computer science and civil engineering.
Students who excel at science, mathematics or robotics may apply to Grace's gifted and talented听programs听through Ignite Excellence.听Our Ignite Excellence programs span all year levels and are an extension on the听糖心原创vlog curriculum.

Grace and FIRST庐 - A World Class Partnership
FIRST庐 Robotics
糖心原创vlog is proud to be a partner with FIRST庐 Australia and Macquarie University in offering world class Robotics facilities, training and tournaments to students of the College and the wider community. Each year the College hosts FIRST庐 LEGO League for Northern Brisbane which sees over 1000 students and parents from teams all over Australia converge on our 糖心原创vlog campus for the tournament day in November. The College is also home to the prestigious FIRST庐 Tech Challenge for the entire state of Queensland. Students from 糖心原创vlog developed Queensland first FIRST庐 Robotics Competition Robot Genesis One in 2015. Read more about these Robotics platforms below.
FTC
FIRST庐 Tech Challenge is designed for high school students to compete head to head, using a sports model. Teams are responsible for designing, building, and programming their robots to compete in an alliance format against other teams. The robot kit is reusable from year-to-year and is programmed using a variety of languages. Teams, including coaches, mentors and volunteers, are required to develop strategy and build robots based on sound engineering principles. Awards are given for the competition as well as for community outreach, design, and other real-world accomplishments.
FRC
The FIRST庐 Robotics Competition is the flagship competition of FIRST. A large-scale robotics competition, FIRST庐 Robotics Competition brings together students and mentors to build robots that perform in a competitive but gracious environment against teams from all over the world. In building their robot and doing all the other things that go with an FIRST庐 Robotics Competition team, students learn valuable life skills like teamwork, collaboration, public speaking, technical science and engineering skills, Gracious Professionalism庐, and others.
