About SRO

Southampton Robotics Outreach (abbr. SRO) is a society at the University of Southampton that aims to get young people involved in STEM through the medium of robotics.

What do we do?​

According to our constitution, our main objectives are:

  • To share our excitement about engineering with others
  • To introduce younger people to the range of activities involved in an engineering project including:
    • Teamwork
    • Planning
    • Technical Design
    • Technical Build
    • Testing
  • To use the medium of robotics to inspire the next generation to take their involvement with engineeringto the next level
  • To develop our own project management and technical engineering experience by leading others

What do we really do?​

So the rather bland descriptions above essentially boil down into the following activities:

  • Running a bunch of events to get people involved in robotics.
  • Developing software and hardware to support them.
  • Going to the pub, and other social activities.
