In this introductory workshop, discover how robots move, sense and respond their environment using mBot robots and iPads.

Working in pairs with a parent/carer, children will write instructions for their robot using block-based programming language, and use STEM skills such as problem solving, creativity and innovation to overcome a series of challenges. Can you program a self-driving car? Or dancing party robot? Or a sneaky snooping robot? 

This workshop is the perfect way to step into the exciting world of robotics and coding, and explore future STEM careers.
