How about something with STEAM?
I think I originally had "Christchurch Robotics Society", which has a Victorian charm.
I prefer STEAM to STEM, but I also prefer to leave things as they are.  "Robotics" has a certain cachet.
Anyway, that's just my opinion.  I am keen to see other suggestions.
Best wishes,
Andrew
