 computer or robotics tutoring
Author: April

I'm trying to figure out how to deliver something worthwhile for my son and a classmate who get get maths extension but not much ICT and would thrive on more; I'm thinking basic computer programming or robotics .. the boys currently get very little at school on a Friday so ideally we'd do it then-- now the tricky bit is we live in Thames and know little ourselves about the subjects so how do we find a tutor or have any idea whether they're any good??
I'm trying some other avenues too but any help from this forum will be gratefully received!

Hi, may not be what you have in mind but have a look at www.kiwifirst.org. My son and I are going to their seminar this weekend about setting up a lego-robotics-engineering team competition for aged 9-16.

Selwyn House in Christchurch has a great robotics club and programme. Does anyone know of anything like this in Wellington?
