What to Expect
Discover the exciting world of technology and creativity with our Self-guided Creator kits designed for children aged 8 and above. These kits allow your child to explore animation, computing, and coding at their own pace, fostering independent learning and problem-solving skills.
The kits include popular tools such as Edison Bots V2, Makey Makey, Raspberry Pi 3 Model B, and Mindstorms EV3. Each kit comes with clear instructions, making it easy for your child to dive into fun and educational projects.
Please note that these sessions are self-guided, so children will need supervision by an adult over 18 to ensure a safe and supportive environment.
