Welcome to Gear Up
Future-proofing kids through robotics
Gear Up is committed to developing the programming and mathematical skills of children in SA through robotics. We believe that robotics teaches problem-solving skills and enables kids to explore the fields of programming, electronics, mechatronic engineering, and applied mathematics in a fun, hands-on way. Our core focus is teaching kids how to problem-solve while instilling in them the confidence to try without fear of failure.
About Us
Gear Up is the brainchild of Ross Needham – a Cape Town-based robotics coach with a wealth of experience in the fields of mechatronics and programming. Widely recognised as one of the top robotics coaches and educators in the province, Ross has a track record for achieving success, with his First Lego League teams qualifying for Nationals 4 years in a row. In 2018, he achieved his goal of coaching a team to represent South Africa at the International Championships in Detroit, USA.
