City of York Council is continuing work to get more people in the city learning how to code, by hosting a special event in partnership with Children’s University at West Offices on Tuesday 14 June.
The event, which is part of this year’s Festival of Ideas, will run between 6pm and 7pm see children look at and work with a variety of robots as they learn code and robotics at a fun family workshop.
The workshop is the latest coding event in the city following successful events at York Explore Library Learning Centre and the National Railway Museum and more as part of an exciting Code York programme to help people across York learn to code.
During the fun session children will be meeting and viewing many different types of robots that will be on show from the University of York’s Robotics Lab including a humanoid robot named NAO who will be demonstrating its abilities with football, dancing and speech; a scorpion robot, a Rubik’s cube solving robot and much more. In addition there will also be a competition with an exciting family prize.
The event is for anyone aged 7-14 years old that has an interest in coding and children are being urged to book their place at the free event now at www.yorkchildrensuniversity.eventbrite.co.uk to avoid disappointment as places are going fast.
