In this workshop you will provide Ruby the NAO Robot with the ability to speak, generate sounds and move like a human. With your newly acquired programming skills you explore her motor functions, sensors and machine vision and transform her into a Macarena dancing, joke telling android who is the life of the party. Bookings are essential.

Suitable for ages 8-12 years

Ever wondered how to transform cans, plastic bottles and old CD's into robots?

In this fun robot building activity you will explore how to harness the power of the sun, work with motors and gears and explore simple electrical circuits to build your own solar powered robot. 

You will also have a chance to put your creation to the test by participating the inaugural Five Dock Solar Robot Race at the end of the day (weather permitting).
