About

The workshops offer children the opportunity to discover this approach by moving from the observation of nature to the construction of a robotic system.

(They will discover that a robot is not just an assembly of parts or an object that you program: it is a technical solution that can be imagined, built, tested, and improved to fulfill a given function.)

They will then go through a phase of handling and construction with Lego kits and will assemble motors, gears, joints, sensors, and structural elements to create a model inspired by the natural phenomenon studied.

Saturday, October 10 from 2:30 PM to 5:30 PM
