Robots work in industry and can also help about the house, or play football. You too would like to build a robot – but how? The workshop offered here is intended for children and young people aged between 10 and 16. The participants learn how a robot works and how you can build and control such a mobile “creature” yourself. Robots are made out of simple components and can move and generate sounds. The aim of the workshop is to get the robots, once they are built, to perform as an orchestra. No previous knowledge is required.

Closing presentation: 17 May 2009, 5 pm in the lounge of the Edith Russ Site for Media Art
