ODI Leeds, Munro House

=Part of Leeds Digital Festival=

Recommended: 18+

Ladies of Leeds, do you like to fiddle? Welcome to the Art of Tinkering, a celebration of making and exploration in hands-on creative tech. Discover Leeds Libraries collections and bring them to life, celebrate digital female pioneers and collaborate with code.

Join Leeds Libraries, Foundation for Digital Creativity, and creative makers as they take over ODI Leeds for the day. Find out more about micro:bits, CodeBugs, Raspberry Pi's, and other curious bits of tech and how you could start tinkering!

This event promises to provide an inclusive and fun environment for all adults to have a go. We ask people to register so that we have an idea of how many people to expect on the day but it will be a very casual session - you don't have to arrive for 11, you can just drop in, and you don't have to stay for the whole session. Spend as long, or as little, time as you like :)

This is an inclusive event open to all, regardless of gender, race, or ability. It will be a safe, relaxed, and supportive environment for learning and creating. The event is open to all but specifically aimed at women to help address the gender gap in the digital-tech sector. Please let us know if you have any special requirements.

Tea/Coffee is provided throughout the session and there will be time at the end for a round up and chat.
