What we cover
Real STEM, not just a label
STEM at CMR means students actually build robots, write working code, design parts in CAD, and print them on 3D printers. Every skill is applied, not theoretical. Students graduate from our programmes with a portfolio of completed projects and measurable technical capability.
- Robotics engineering (mechanical & electronics)
- Python and Java programming
- 3D printing and CAD design
- FIRST Tech Challenge competition pathway

Results
What North Shore families can expect from CMR
If you are comparing STEM providers on the North Shore, these are the outcomes and track record behind our programme.
Four consecutive NZ FTC national titles
We've won the NZ FTC national title four seasons running - sustained success, not a one-off result.
World-stage competition experience
Students are coached against the standards needed for high-pressure events, international exposure, and judged award environments.
Engineering and judging support
Coaching covers robot build quality, programming, electronics, documentation, and competition strategy rather than only match-day performance.
FAQ
STEM classes on the North Shore — common questions
What does STEM cover at CMR Robotics?
Our STEM programmes combine robotics, programming (Python and Java), mechanical engineering, electronics, and 3D printing/CAD. Students work on real engineering challenges rather than isolated exercises, so every skill reinforces the others.
Is this different from school STEM?
Yes. School STEM is often broad and introductory. CMR programmes are specialist, structured, and outcome-focused — students build physical robots, write real code, and compete nationally in FIRST Tech Challenge. The depth of learning is significantly higher.
What age can my child join STEM classes on the North Shore?
Our programmes are designed for students aged 10 and up. We recommend starting with a free discussion to find the best starting point for your child's age and experience.
Do you offer STEM holiday programmes on the North Shore?
Yes. We run intensive STEM holiday camps during school breaks at our Wairau Valley facility. Contact us for current dates and availability.
Where are your STEM classes located?
All sessions are at 195 Wairau Road, Wairau Valley, Auckland 0627 — in the heart of the North Shore, close to Takapuna, Milford, Glenfield, and Albany.
