How to Build a Robot Orchestra

Robots work in industry, they can help in the household or play soccer. You want to build a robot too, but how? The workshop offered here is intended for children and young people between 10 and 16 years. Participants will learn how a robot works and how such a moving "creature" can be built and controlled by themselves. Simple building blocks will be used to assemble robots that move and make sounds. The goal of the workshop is a performance of the built robots as an orchestra. No previous knowledge is required for this.
 
Final presentation: May 17, 2009, 5 p.m. in the lounge of the Edith Russ House for Media Art
