Shonkbots - Family Creative Tech Workshop
Thu 20 Feb 11:30
Pervasive Media Studio, Watershed
This February half-term, we're excited to invite young people aged 8-14 and their guardians to a special workshop with Dr. Libby Miller. The workshop will complement our showing of The Wild Robot, which you can enjoy with a 20% discount during this school break.
The workshop will focus on making shonky, physical, funny prototypes, and thinking about connection. A playful, interactive exploration of robotics made with everyday items, you'll get to explore creative technology, and build a Shonkbot. All children will need to be accompanied by an adult but adults do not need to book in. Shonkbot is a fun, low-cost educational/drawing robot made entirely from bits you can buy.
