Micromelon Robotics delivered hands-on robotics workshops at the World Science Festival Brisbane 2024, one of the world's premier public science events. Held across multiple venues in Brisbane's South Bank, the festival attracted tens of thousands of visitors, including families, students, and science enthusiasts from across Australia.

Micromelon's workshop sessions gave young participants the chance to program Rovers through a series of guided challenges, starting with simple driving tasks and progressing to more complex activities involving sensors and automated navigation. Facilitators from the Micromelon team guided groups through the basics of block-based coding, ensuring every participant - regardless of prior experience - could successfully program their Rover.

"Events like the World Science Festival remind us why we do what we do," the Micromelon team shared. "Seeing a child's face light up when their code makes a robot move for the first time - that's what it's all about."
