About Robot Camp (CSC909)
Calling all robot enthusiasts! Get designing, making and playing in this creative workshop.
What will you learn on this course?
A two-day creative camp inspired by Pauline Farrar’s amazing Celebrity Robots, one of which is permanently housed at MAC.
Get hands on with a variety of activities including junk modelling your own robot sculpture and using drama games to create their stories.
Participants will gain new skills in how to design and creating 3D art forms, whilst coming up with creative stories and ideas for their robots. They will have the opportunity to work with lots of exciting art materials and equipment and gain an understanding of creating artwork through different methods such as drawing, painting and sculpture. This is a fun workshop designed to allow free thinking and imagination.
Who is this course for?
This course is suitable for children aged 6 to 11 years. It is open to all ability levels and does not require any previous experience. We provide a learning support worker and all our staff are DBS checked. Parents are not expected to accompany children on the course.
The course is accessible for children of all abilities who can participate in practical art and craft activities. A parent or carer may attend to assist the child if required; carers must book a complimentary ticket if attending to provide support. Please contact us to discuss your specific access needs. The room is wheelchair accessible.
Age ranges are set carefully to consider key age developments, materials being used and course stimulus. It is very important that age ranges are not too large or across key stages and therefore need to be adhered to.
Do you need to bring anything?
All course material and equipment are provided.
Are there any additional costs?
Children should dress appropriately as some visual art workshops can get a bit messy.
Please note that lunch is not provided. Children will need to bring their own lunch to eat on a supervised one-hour break.
