Let the children dive into learning about robotics and its impact in our daily lives! In addition to their practical usage, robots can also be helpful in creativity:
The intermedia workshop promotes an in-depth understanding of robotics and its involvement in art, security, production. Are we aware of the potential of new technologies that surrounds us? They enable us new ways of creativity – and this is the purpose of this workshop: to awake interest in new technologies and to understand both positive and negative effects of robotics and technological development.
Individual design is important
