Meet Our Founder
With strong science background and a love for helping children learn in a fun and exciting way.

Nikè is a geoscientist with a strong background in technology management and an advocate for hands-on STEM. In 2004, she started out her career in the oil and gas industry and took on several roles with particular focus on technology development. She is also a Google CS-First guru and advocate for teaching computer science to primary school children using the kid-friendly MIT’s software – Scratch.
Nikè began Wacky Bots® to help more children see STEM as a fun, interesting and rewarding career path. She saw that the experiments she carried out with her kids for fun as well as her enjoyment of robotics could easily be of great value to children within the Scottish Curriculum of Excellence. Nikè is a member of the Protection of Vulnerable Groups (PVG) scheme and holds a current Disclosure Scotland Certificate.
Wacky Bots® has been launched within the Mearns area and is set to get all kids aged 6-14 in Scotland bugging their parents to let them carry out experiments (safe ones only), invent new things for their robot to do with Mindstorms, and create amazing animations, fantastic stories and awesome games on Scratch.

Brilliant course last summer, we have just booked our kids again for the Easter session. Lots of fun for the children, highly recommended
I think that the Wackybots robot’s function well and it was fun to make and programme them. The class was very good fun.
My son loved the Wacky Bots course he did at Aberdeen Science Centre recently. He learned to build and program a Lego robot, what more could a 9 year old want?!
My son had a robotics session with Wacky Bots yesterday at the Bervie Cubs and came home raving about it!
Fab science input at assembly from Wacky Bots. Everyone was totally engaged. Thank you.
The boys were high as a kite yesterday when I picked them up. They are really loving your class.
