LEGO meets coding in this brilliant robotics workshop for ages 5–8. Budding engineers build fairground-themed models, then program motors, lights and sound to bring them to life—think mini carousels and funfair action. Led by JuniorSTEM, it’s hands-on, brain-on and ridiculously entertaining. A great way to inspire future techies (or very clever toddlers).

Afternoon slot for older kids (8–12): build and code your own drumming monkey! These LEGO creations move, make noise, and probably giggle—just like a real cheeky simian. JuniorSTEM’s skilled educators teach robotics and sound programming, helping kids design a mechanical monkey that drums. Creative, educational and loads of fun. Music, mechanics and monkey business in one session.
