Art Bots with Kakou
Do you like drawing or painting? Imagine if you could build a robot that creates its own art! In this session, you’ll construct your very own Art Bot – a simple robot with markers for legs that wobbles across a piece of paper, creating unique drawings as it moves. Customise your Art Bot to change how it draws and watch your robot artist come to life!
Please note places are limited and available on a first come, first served basis.
