The AARAS Experience
Skills that build, term after term
Every class at AARAS builds on the one before it. Your child keeps getting better at something real, right through to solving actual engineering problems, using the same tools the professionals use.

Why AARAS is different
A curriculum that adds up, term after term
Nothing your child learns at AARAS gets left behind once the term ends. Each stage builds directly on the one before it, so what they picked up last term is exactly what they need for what's next. Over time, that adds up to something real, a student who can take on genuine engineering problems, not just follow along in class.
- Introduction
- Intermediate
- Advanced
- Projects
The same four stages, every subject, so it's always easy to see how far your child has come.
Staying ahead
We keep adding new subjects as the world changes
Cybersecurity and space engineering weren't part of most school programs ten years ago. We add subjects like these as they become important, so your child is always learning something that actually matters right now, not just what was written into a course years ago. See the full curriculum for what's live now.
The parent experience
You're part of this too
We don't just teach your child and hand you a report card at the end of term. You see how they're going as it happens, so you're never left guessing what's actually happening in class.
What's included
Every AARAS enrolment includes
Support for your child, and support for you.

For you as a parent
How we keep you in the loop, every term
- A text or WhatsApp message the moment your child signs in to class, so you know they've arrived safely
- Weekly updates, plus a full progress report every term
- A direct line to us, any time you have a question or want to talk through how they're going
- Term dates that match the school calendar you already know
Beyond the classroom
We train teachers too
It's not just students who learn with us. We've delivered whole-school STEM incursions and professional development sessions for teaching staff at schools across Sydney, reaching over 10,000 students that way alone. So what your child learns at AARAS isn't a one-off idea, it's something we've already taught at scale.
Proven over time
Not a trend. A track record.
These numbers aren't here to impress you, they're here to explain something useful: we've already worked out what helps a child move from their first robot to a real project, across thousands of real students, so your child isn't the one we're still figuring it out on.
10,000+ students
Across ongoing classes and whole-school incursions since day one. Real breadth, not just a handful of case studies.
80,000+ hours
Of classes delivered since we opened our doors in 2016. That's a long time to learn what actually works.
10 years competing
14 FLL and FTC seasons since 2016. Real, checkable results, see where our students compete.
350+ activities
Across 60 skill levels, each one mapped to what comes next, so there's always a clear step ahead for your child, not just another hour filled.
3,300+ reports
Term reports and certificates sent home since 2021. Proof the updates are real, not just a promise on a form.
Real outcomes
Many of our students go on to take engineering subjects at school and university. Some come back as mentors themselves, current students and alumni alike.
Why we teach STEM
We're not raising computer engineers. We're raising humanitarian engineers.
STEM isn't just what we teach, it's how we think. We want kids who can solve problems, work with others, and stick with something hard, because tomorrow's engineers need to solve real, human problems, not just write code.
