Welcome Trainees!

Post training is an exciting time to try new things, take risks, and challenge your students. To best support you between and after training and workshops, Nevada Robotics staff have gathered key resources for you to access as you embark on your robotics and computer science teaching journey with your students.
If you have not attended training with Nevada Robotics, you will still find these resources useful, so dig in.
