From school robotics to STEM futures

Engineering a future for all.

Powered by ReBourne Robotics, the UK’s all-girl FRC team.

ReBourne Futures is the student-led outreach and impact programme powered by ReBourne Robotics. It builds on BSG Robotics’ successful outreach work, helping pupils see engineering as creative, local and possible — while developing girls as leaders, mentors and communicators.

Purpose

The next chapter of outreach.

ReBourne Futures is a named relaunch and expansion of BSG Robotics’ outreach, created as our students grow from participants into leaders, mentors and communicators.

Why ReBourne Futures exists

ReBourne Futures exists to inspire girls into engineering by giving pupils access to real engineering experiences. Through robotics, coding and student-led outreach, younger pupils meet older girls who are already designing, building, coding and competing.

Helps pupils see engineering as something creative, local and possible for them.
Connects school robotics to future STEM pathways, careers and technical leadership.
Gives ReBourne students the chance to lead, mentor, speak and inspire through real outreach.
Builds on outreach that has already reached more than 6,000 pupils through BSG Robotics.

Build. Lead. Reach. Inspire.

ReBourne Futures turns one extraordinary all-girl robotics team into a regional force for engineering inspiration.

Build

Launch ReBourne Robotics, the UK’s all-girl FRC team, giving sixth form students access to large-scale competitive engineering.

Lead

Develop students as engineering leaders, mentors and communicators through real responsibility and public outreach.

Reach

Deliver free coding, robotics and engineering experiences for schools across Bournemouth, Dorset and the wider South Coast.

Inspire

Help younger pupils meet visible role models and recognise local pathways into engineering, computing and STEM futures.

What schools can access

Free student-led outreach.

ReBourne Futures primary workshops are designed for Years 4, 5 and 6, with age-appropriate versions of each activity. Details on how schools can book will launch in autumn.

Coding workshops

Free student-led coding sessions delivered at schools, giving pupils hands-on experience with programming, problem-solving and computational thinking.

Years 4–6Coding

Robotics micro:bit

Hands-on robotics sessions using accessible technology to help pupils connect coding, movement, sensors and real engineering challenges.

RoboticsMicro:bit

Engineering talks

Student-led talks about engineering, robotics, girls in STEM and what real student engineering looks like in a competitive robotics team.

InspirationRole models

Summer showcase

Two summer FIRST Robotics Showcase days at BSG, creating four half-day interactive sessions for primary pupils to experience robotics, coding and engineering.

At BSG120 pupils

BU-linked outreach

From May, ReBourne will begin planning with Bournemouth University to develop outreach into disadvantaged secondary schools.

South Coast hub

ReBourne Futures also connects to wider FTC hub activity, supporting schools through events, scrimmages and competitions hosted by BSG Robotics.

FTC hubSouth Coast
ReBourne Futures will support schools across Bournemouth, Dorset and the wider South Coast, subject to travel capacity. In-school workshops will usually be available within approximately 30 miles of Bournemouth. Outreach is mainly delivered outside the January–April FRC build and competition season.
Annual theme

Real-world engineering every year.

Each year, ReBourne Futures links its workshops to the global FIRST theme, giving pupils a fresh real-world context for coding, robotics and engineering.

2026/27 theme:
Backyard Biodiversity

Inspired by FIRST Canopy, this year’s workshops and showcase activities will explore biodiversity, conservation and how young people can support nature in their own gardens, schools and local communities.

Technology with purpose

Backyard Biodiversity helps pupils see how coding, robotics and engineering can connect to the world around them. The theme gives a practical and creative route into environmental thinking, local action and problem-solving.

Coding and robotics activities linked to biodiversity and conservation.
Age-appropriate versions for Years 4, 5 and 6.
A local focus on gardens, schools and regional habitats.
A clear link between young people, engineering and positive environmental action.
Summer showcase

A day where partners can see the impact.

The Summer FIRST Robotics Showcase is designed for primary pupils, while also giving partners the chance to visit, see the programme in action and connect their support to real pupil impact and future careers inspiration.

Partner impact

Mission sponsors power the future.

ReBourne Futures is enabled through the existing ReBourne mission sponsorship and founding partner structure.

Recognition that travels

ReBourne partners will be visible on our robot, team kit, pit displays, outreach materials, showcase communications and partner pages as students represent Bournemouth, the South West and the UK at events locally, nationally and internationally.

How partners make it possible

Every partner who helps launch ReBourne Robotics also helps create the outreach, role-model and school-impact programme that follows. By funding the founding missions, partners provide the team structure, equipment, experience and capacity needed for ReBourne Futures to exist.

Support ReBourne Robotics through the seven launch missions.
Help unlock free student-led outreach for schools across the region.
Strengthen pathways into engineering, computing, robotics and technical leadership.
Help connect ReBourne Futures with schools, community organisations and regional networks.

Strategic partnership

Bournemouth University will support ReBourne Futures as a strategic outreach and progression partner over time: mentoring ReBourne students, helping shape future outreach into disadvantaged secondary schools, strengthening links to engineering and computing pathways, and supporting wider regional STEM opportunities.

Partners support ReBourne through the mission system. ReBourne Futures is the impact story that comes with helping launch the team.

Support the mission. Power the future.

By backing ReBourne Robotics through our mission sponsorship model, partners help launch the UK’s all-girl FRC team and power ReBourne Futures: free student-led engineering outreach for schools across our region.
