Tinkerbots – Build your own Robot

Tinkerbots is a hands-on, engaging workshop in which you create a robot sculpture from electronic waste to take home. This unique experience is sure to get your tinker juices flowing!

Workshop leader Mark says:

‘You can choose bits from my vast collection, or bring your own electronic waste and I will show you how to use the tools and equipment to create your very own robot!’

Each session takes 2 hours. Sign up for one of two sessions on Thursday, 11 April or Saturday 13th April:

• 10:00-12:00 or
• 13:00-15:00

What you’ll do

Join other tinkerers to::

• Design a robot with a unique story
• Use tools to dismantle waste products and put your sculpture together
• Think about waste in a new way
• And, of course, build your own robot!

Who’s this for?

Suitable for ages 7+

What do you need to bring?

All equipment is provided. All you need to bring is a sparkling can-do attitude! However if you have electronic waste at home that you would like to use, please feel free to bring it with you.

Participants under the age of 12 must be accompanied by an adult. Accompanying adults do not need to book a ticket (unless they want to make their own robot).
