Creative introduction to robotics without prior knowledge
The free workshop is aimed specifically at girls interested in technology who want to take their first steps in programming and construction. Under professional guidance, participants build and design their own small robots. In doing so, they learn step-by-step how to teach the devices to move, avoid obstacles, or react to external signals.
At the end of the program, each girl may take her self-designed robot home. In addition to this robotics offer, there are other creative courses in the city during the holidays, such as a stop-motion holiday workshop for children.
Important note on registration
As the number of participants for the course in the rooms of the Abbe Center of Photonics is strictly limited, prior registration is mandatory. Families are requested to send the registration for their children directly to the organizer via email as soon as possible.
Exciting robot kits for children
Those who want to continue building at home after the workshop will find child-friendly robotics sets to be the ideal introduction to the world of technology.
