“We’d love for you to join us on this journey.”
“The University of Sydney and The Australian Centre for Field Robotics is proud to have hosted The Drop Bears for the last 5 years. It's also personally gratifying to help students discover their passion for STEM subjects, and apply their passion in a way that goes beyond what they could do at school.”
