Where to find us, and how to get us to you.

The KCLMS Volcanix outreach and fundraising stall

Why We Do Outreach

Most students never meet a robot they are allowed to touch. Bringing ours into schools and events is the cheapest way we know of turning “engineering” from an abstract word into something a thirteen-year-old can picture themselves doing.

We have reached around 200 students so far through school visits, workshops and help for rookie teams.
