About this event

Get ready to code, create, and compete! In this exciting one-day workshop, kids will learn how to build and customise their very own robot car using the BBC micro:bit – a beginner-friendly mini-computer that introduces coding in a hands-on way.

Throughout the day, students will:

  • Code their car’s movement using simple block-based programming
  • Design and build custom attachments using 3D printing, laser cutting, and recyclable cardboard
  • Test and tweak their robot’s design for speed, strength, and creativity
  • Battle it out in a friendly final showdown of mini-games and challenges!

From jousting arms to creative flags and armour, students will learn real-world tech and digital fabrication skills while having a blast making their robot cars stand out on the track.

No prior coding or making experience needed — just bring your imagination and get ready to invent!

What you'll get: All materials needed are provided.

Each student will receive a certificate of completion at the end of the course.

For ages 10-16 years
