Take these school holidays to the next level and travel out of this world to the rocky landscape of Mars in a one hour educator-led session on robotics! You get to build and code a LEGO Mars Rover to drive over the Martian surface, before racing other crews through a Martian maze to the finish line.
There will be spot prizes for the most inventive, maneuverable, and quickest robots. After your robot race, enjoy a show followed by a water rocket demonstration (weather/wind permitting).
The robot building will be done in teams of three, so grab two mates and come together, or come along and be allocated a team and make some new friends in the process.
Children under 14 years old must have a supervising adult with them at all times. Accompanying adult goes free.
