Incursions + Professional Development = Win-Win for All!
Discover the exceptional offerings from the Australian Academy of Robotics and STEM (AARAS) Education, where we provide coding, robotics, and STEM incursions tailored for primary and high schools at an incredibly affordable rate starting from just $5 per session per student. We understand the evolving educational landscape and firmly believe in the significance of equipping students with essential STEM or STEAM skills.
At AARAS Education, we offer comprehensive professional development, engaging school incursions, and enriching after-school workshops designed to cater to K-12 students. Our approach recognises that education is transitioning. As teachers adapt to their changing role from being experts to facilitators, we are here to support them every step of the way.
Our unique ‘team-teaching’ professional development approach sets us apart. We adopt a whole school approach and collaborate closely with teachers, leading the initial delivery of our programs in the classroom. Over time, we empower and guide teachers to independently deliver these programs, fostering their capacity and confidence. By working together, our incursions provide a sustainable and self-sufficient STEM learning environment within schools.
With an emphasis on practical application and inclusion, our programs inspire students to explore how technology can be harnessed to address real challenges. Our organisation takes pride in our track record of not returning to the same school repeatedly, as our initial engagement enables schools to continue their STEM journey independently.
Join us on this educational expedition, where we provide teachers with the necessary tools, guidance, and expertise to seamlessly integrate STEM learning into their curriculum. Together, let’s build a generation of students equipped with the confidence, capacity, and capability to thrive in an ever-evolving world.

Staff Augmentation
A Practical, Sustainable, and Affordable Solution for Outcome-Focused Schools.
Schools are increasingly tasked with meeting diverse student needs while also adhering to stringent academic standards. Staff augmentation has emerged as a practical strategy to address these challenges, allowing schools to enhance their existing workforce with specialised skills and expertise without the long-term commitment of traditional hiring.
We can offer an experienced STEM educator to collaborate with you and your staff in creating and implementing your school’s STEM program during school hours. This educator will also help train your staff. They will integrate into your team, and subjects like coding, robotics, STEM, and engineering will be scheduled into your timetable. This option is usually cheaper than hiring your own staff and offers professional training to improve your team’s skills using our proven curriculum.
