This event is a basic introduction to robotics and shows robots operating in the real world as well as robot models performing tasks that have been built using a Lego Mindstorm kit.

The intention is to provide an understanding of robotics in an entertaining and fun way using a Lego robot.

The event is primarily for schoolchildren, based on a lesson aimed at Key Stages 2 to 3, but parents are expected to join in; as well as being a fun session it's an opportunity for those attending to pick up a basic understanding of robotics and gain an insight into what a career in Robotics could offer.

So, whether you have some knowledge of the subject and looking to learn more or merely curious this event is designed to accommodate both!

What will you get out of this event?

• We will explain what robotics is all about in simple terms.

• We will show a short video illustrating what real robots can currently achieve as well as how some of these can be achieved using Lego kits that you can build in your home.

• There will be an opportunity for you to share your ideas on what Robotics could do in the future. The good, the bad and the ugly!

• We will look at another video explaining the component parts of a Lego robot.

• We will talk briefly about programming a robot before showing a video on programming a Lego MindStorms EV3 robot to perform a simple sequence of tasks.

• We will finish with a Q&A session

This event is presented by the South Wales Branch of the BCS the chartered institute for IT

This is an online event

Making computer games involves lots of great skills, including computer coding, audio design and graphic design. In this game jam, we will introduce you to everything you need to make your own computer game, for free. We'll be around during the whole event to provide help and advice. We'll showcase all the games on our website after the event for everyone to play, as well as offering some prizes for the best games.

Our theme this year is Space, so you can start thinking about an Out Of This World game idea.

There are two introductory sessions, at 10-10:30am and 1-1:30pm. Please make sure that you join during one of these slots so that we can introduce you to what's going on. If you join at any other time then you will miss what to do! Between these sessions, we will be available on Zoom to answer any questions that you have.

Please note: This even is for children aged 8-16. Children must be accompanied by an adult during the event. You will need a device with internet access.
