Working through the entire creative “imagine-design-make” process we will build a digital, interactive kinetic art installation which will also feature imaginative lighting, audio and video. 
We’ll use Raspberry Pi Pico based Spoke boards as a foundation. These turn any conductive object (e.g. fruit, a potato, an old metal tea-pot, etc. ….) into a programable trigger to drive Midi musical instru

Code Your Story is a free, four-session coding club for primary school children, introducing them to computational thinking, block-based programming and simple robotics through creative storytelling. Over four 60-minute sessions, the same group of 20-30 pupils will progress from unplugged coding activities (sequencing, algorithms and logical thinking through games and puzzles) to hands-on programm

We hope to run an event where three local schools can come together to take part in a day of coding workshops. The workshops will be run by Peter Marshman of Digitall. The workshops will be hands-on, meaningful learning experiences that will equip our learners with essential digital skills; from coding and robotics to online safety and creative problem-solving. As well as the children learning co

This is fun series of interactive lunchtime workshops designed to inspire and inform 8-9 year olds about AI. IT is particularly focused on building digital confidence and literacy in children from underprivileged backgrounds who do not always have the same access to technology so that they can participate more fully in a rapidly changing digital society. The event itself will have an informal feel

In this hands-on workshop, we will explore how AI works at a fundamental level through two separate activities. In the morning session, attendees will learn about neural networks and train an AI to recognise gestures such as waving your arms or moving your head. They will then use those gestures to control a “snake” computer game. In the afternoon, attendees will explore another AI technique ca

In this hands-on workshop, we will explore how AI works at a fundamental level through a technique called reinforcement learning. The students will build a simple wheeled robot with an articulated foot at the front. The two joints of the foot can move independently to a range of positions. Initially the robot foot will move randomly, but after some time, through feedback, the foot will start

Event 1: Coding Foundations. Equipment required: 25 x Microbit V2.2 @ £390 Target: Y7 and Y8 disadvantaged students. Group size: 20-25 About: This introductory programme develops foundational computing and engineering skills through hands-on robotics and block-based coding. Learners will be introduced to programming concepts such as sequencing, loops, conditionals, and debugging through practica

The proposed event will be held over five hours and will be for participants in the age group of 8 years to 18 years. The event will be free and open to all members of the public. The face-to-face mentor-led workshop will be carried on by using tools like Scratch, Codeblock and Micro:Python on the BBC micro:bit through hands-on projects with live streaming. The major attractions/highlights of th

This course will give children opportunities to build AI literacy: understanding what AI tools can and can not do, how to use them thoughtfully and how to spot their limitations. The main message of this course is to remind children that AI is a tool and not an alternative to using their own brains and creativity. This course will empower all children , but particularly SEN children, who may trust

We will use recycled material to create a range of instruments (shakers, drums, rubber-band guitars etc) and experiment with the sounds they produce. We will then build on those instruments using conductive touch points, Makey-Makey’s and Scratch to code new electronic sounds. Attendees will explore different inputs and experiment with rhythm, movement and sound. With the support of Maker{futures}
