Coding Robots Workshop | Halton Short Breaks

In this engaging two-hour Halton Short Breaks LEGO Stop Motion Animation session, your young person will be introduced to the magical world of robotics!

In this workshop, your young person will learn how to programme their very own robotic ball, known as a Sphero. 🤖🔧 But that’s not all, they’ll also design and build a LEGO brick maze, then code their robot to navigate and escape it!

This session is part of our Halton Short Breaks project. These sessions are funded specifically by Halton Borough Council for young people in Halton with Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities (SEND). (please contact us if you're not sure - hello@makocreate.co.uk or 0151 345 1419)

Personal Care Arrangements:

If your child will need help with personal care during the session, a carer who can provide this needs to be in place prior to the session, as unfortunately, Mako Create staff cannot provide personal care.

If you receive funding for personal care, then you will need to make arrangements for your carer to attend the session with your child.

If you receive personal care through a Halton Borough Council care package, then you need to make arrangements with the council as soon as possible, for a carer to attend the session for your child.

If you have no care in place, but your child needs help with personal care, please let us know so that we can refer you to the relevant council team.

If your child attends the session needing personal care, but arrives without provision in place, regretfully, they will be turned away.

Participants with an additional need may be permitted to be joined by a sibling who does not meet our eligibility criteria, but only if the sibling’s presence will be of benefit to the young person and if there is adequate space on the course. Due to our provision agreement with Halton Borough Council, we must reserve the right to cancel sibling places in order to accommodate other young people with additional needs. We will require a phone call with you to discuss your circumstances if you would like to enrol a non-eligible sibling onto a session.

**Tickets are non-transferable - please ensure the name of the participant you sign up matches the young person who arrives at our session. Each young person must have their own ticket.**
