Robot Making (ages 8-12)

Using child friendly robotics kits, children will be guided through the process of building and programming a simple robot. As they do so they will be developing a basic understanding of electronics and computer programming. They will be encouraged to problem solve when they encounter issues.

By the end of the day, children will understand what robots are and where they are used in the world around us. They will also have tried robot design themselves, built a robot from component parts, and programmed a robot using motors, lights and sensors.

As always at Inventors & Makers workshops, the learning will focus on promoting problem solving, creativity and collaboration, while children take part in engaging activities.

Our workshops have an informal and relaxed environment and are limited to a small number of children to maximise teacher support. After each workshop, parents receive detailed feedback on their child's participation, including photos where appropriate.

We'd love to have your child join us to learn new skills, make new friends and have a lot of fun!

PRICING: All pricing information is available under ticket information - full price is £64 for one day, but discounts are available for friends or siblings booking together (use code SIB/FRD) or for booking more than one class during the week (see ticket optjons).

All technology and equipment is provided for the class price, plus drinks and snacks. 

WRAP-AROUND CARE: You can book in advance for extended hours from 9-5 for a small additional fee.

*While this workshop will cover the same content as previous Robot Making workshops, if your child has already attended one of our Robotics workshops, we will adapt the  content so that your child can make further progress from a different starting point.
