Time to tinker! Encourage your kids to experiment with and shape materials to create 3D characters and mechanically-themed robots. In this workshop, children will get to play with a diverse array of salvaged materials to see how they feel, sound, and interact together. In this experimental process they will get to make a humanoid or non-humanoid robot/character. Tinkering can be a great way for children to learn via "trial and error" as often the best discoveries arrive after realising what doesn't work! Suitable for kids and teens of all ages - however children younger than 6 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
