Becoming a student (aged 14-18 yrs) - We are looking to grow the number of student team members in ICRobotics so that more young people can get enjoyment out of this amazing program. If you have an interest in hardware, software, business (inc. media, marketing, admin) and would like to join us, please apply! Recruitment period is August - September every year. Follow us on social media or email us if you want to be notified of the application opening date for 2020.

Becoming a mentor (aged 18+ yrs) - Our team is made up of enthusiastic and motivated students who are always keen to learn and extend their knowledge in technology (software, engineering) as well as business skills (project management, business development, marketing). If you have expertise in one of these areas and would like to mentor our students we would love to have you on board.

Becoming a support member - Do you have a skill that you think could be valuable to our team? Your support would be appreciated in any area including catering, fundraising etc.

Sponsoring us - This can take many forms. Many of our sponsors support us financially, but others support us in kind with parts, materials or venues.

Attending our events/ demos - During the season, we host and participate in demonstration nights and community events that are often open to the public. We would love you to come along and chat to the team, see our robots and learn more about what we do.

Coming for a visit at the workshop - If you would just like to come and see what we do, you are welcome to come for a visit at our next meeting.

ICRobotics robot demo for your school/ community group/ event - Do you think that what we're doing could spark an interest in the children/ teenagers/ adults at your school, group or event? Depending on your location, ICRobotics can come and demonstrate one of our robots for you. We can also deliver engaging presentations to any age group - for example, sharing our story, enthusiasm for STEM, Lego expertise and FIRST robotics experience. Our past presentations range from preschools and festivals, through to corporate events and conferences.
