Creative Corner

Want to see a Raspberry Pi running Scratch, or experiment with an open source robot-building kit? In addition to the hands-on sessions, we will have a variety of additional kit available for you to experiment with.

Competitions and Prizes

As a little incentive, we’ll be giving out a few robotic prizes to the most imaginative solutions to the one-hour challenges set during the hands-on sessions.
