Outreach

A group of children visiting Penglais Campus run with the Smot dog robot.

Staff and students in our department recognise the importance of supporting our community with computer science and technology learning.

Public Events

Our Intelligent Robotics research group host an annual Beach Lab event every June at Aberystwyth Bandstand. This exhibition is open to all, providing opportunities for knowledge exchange.

Educator’s Support

To support Primary and Secondary School teachers/educators we have developed a range of resources for use in the classroom, or assist in lesson planning.

We have a shop on TES.com providing access, free of charge, to a range of guides, lessons, and workbooks.

Our online Outreach Hub also offers workshop series which provide video lessons, exercises, hints, and answers for use at home or in school.
