Build a Robot – Free Workshop by Moiz Din & Kishan Poonyth

This workshop is part of Tech Ilford Festival 2026
Suitable for ages 5+

Booking info coming soon

Kids can join our session and learn how to build a small little robot that waves his hand. All 3D-printed beforehand, equipped with an ESP-32 microcontroller and a 9g micro servo. The kids will be able to assemble and program the bot themselves. (Laptops will be provided)

The kids will then be allowed to decorate their robot with marker pens and other small craft stuff like googly eyes, etc. The kids will be able to take their bots home and show it to their friends!
