Programming with Art Bots

KS2

75-minute facilitated session

Cost: £130 per class (up to 32 pupils)

Our Programming with Art Bots workshop explores the use of robots as an artistic tool, combining art with computing. Students will learn about some of our more technologically advanced vehicles in the museum, before getting hands on with our own programmable art bots. Through a series of investigative tasks we will discover how to control their movement and instruct the robots to draw different shapes and patterns. Students will then use their newly found understanding to collaborate and get creative on some giant pieces of artwork.
