| Monday Morning Tear-Down Disassemble. Dismantle. Destroy. Discover! In a guided and thoughtful way we’ll be breaking the seal on a variety of gear and harvesting the useful parts! Expect motors, LEDs, magnets and more. (no mains electricity!) |  |
| Tuesday: Scuttle Robot™ Build Building Marcel’s cool vibrating robots from scratch. We’ll be ripping apart DVD drives for their motors, adding batteries and nailbrushes then soldering and hot gluing them into action! Alert: Hands-on educational fun. |  |
| Wednesday: Scuttle Robot™ Wars Wild robotic action and battles. If you came to the build session on Tuesday; GREAT! If not, no problem. We’ll put one together for you today and everyone will create their own combat body-shell. Note: take home your Scuttle Robot™ |  |
| Thursday: Arduino Introduction Get your feet wet with these remarkably inexpensive little gadgets. Write your own programs then add sensors and devices to make it do your bidding. Absolute beginners welcome. |  |
Friday: Raspberry Pi Introduction Blow your mind with this pocket-sized supercomputer. Learn Python programming and connect external devices for some real-world computing. Absolute beginners welcome. |  |

Something for the holidays? April 2016
After quite an epic hiatus, Maker School returns with some workshops for the holidays!

£25 per session. Ages 9+ Spaces limited

| Monday Morning Tear-Down Disassemble. Destroy. Dismantle. Discover! Taking things apart is a GREAT way to learn what goes on in the devices we use every day. In a guided and thoughtful way we’ll be breaking the seal on a range of gear and harvesting the parts for future use. Expect motors, LEDs, circuit boards and more. (no mains electricity!) |  |
| Wednesday: Scuttle Robot Build Building Marcel’s cool vibrating robots from scratch. We’ll be using motors that were harvested on Monday plus batteries and nailbrushes then soldering and hot gluing them into action! Alert: This will be fun. |  |
| Thursday: LEGO Challenge Come and play with a ton of LEGO and be challenged to do the impossible! Expect head-scratching, brick-smashing frustration and jubilant success! |  |
| Friday: Scuttle Robot Wars™ Wild robotic action and battles. If you came to the build session on Wednesday; GREAT! If not, no problem. We’ll put them together for you today and everyone will create their own combat body-shell. Note: take home your Scuttle Robot™ |  |
