Not just Lego, and not just robots… it’s Lego Robots! First you team up to build these especially designed robots, and then comes the clever bit.

Kite Building
Why do kites fly and how can we make them fly even better? By learning about the forces which create flight and how to use the right materials. By the end of this session you will all know why a kite needs a Bridle Point, Cross Spar and Tail, and you will learn how to find its centre of gravity. Put all this learning together into making a great kite design of your own to fly in the fields.

Cyanotypes
An historic photographic process, where two chemicals are mixed together to make an emulation that turns Prussian blue in contact with sun light.

Once the paper is dry, then will place their chosen objects on the coated paper, put it in the sun and watch the colour change. Finally, the print is rinsed in water to fix it.
