ROBOTIX LAB: ROBOTICS WORKSHOPS FOR CHILDREN

Following the success of our workshops in Thessaloniki, we're delighted to present a series of Robotics Workshops in Athens in collaboration with Robotix lab and invite children between the ages of 9 and 15 on a magical journey into the world of artificial intelligence.

Did you know that we interact with robots every single day of our lives? Have you ever wondered how many robots there are in your own home?

Take part in our robotics workshops and find out more about robots, their intelligence and the way they work.

Help Dr Robotstein explore the anatomy of a robot and bring intelligent robots to life by building and programming them yourself!

There will be an invasion of educational robots specially designed for children and equipped with sensors, controllers and actuators at the British Council, where they'll all be waiting for you to command their next move!

The workshops will come to a close with the Cyberneticus Mission, a competition between the robots you've built and programmed. You could be the next Robot Master to win the grand prize!
