Join us to dive into the exciting world of moving characters made from cups and motors. In this hands-on workshop, you'll learn how to blend electronics with computer programming to bring your very own cup character to life. You’ll start by turning a simple cup into an animated object using a motor. Then, let your creativity run wild as you decorate your cup to transform it into a character with its own unique personality.
Suitable for children 9-13 years old.
Due to the cost of the electronic parts, it's not possible to take working builds home. You will be able to take the cup and decorated characters home, but there will be no movement.
Delivered by Su Adams, from U Can Too, an education provider focusing on delivering creative and exciting technology and engineering learning experiences.

Level: Beginner
-- We kindly ask that you arrive 10 minutes early so we can begin right on time. If you're not in the library by the start time, we will offer your spot to a child who is waiting in the library that day.
-- Just a heads up, if your child needs to use the bathroom during the workshop, they'll need to go on their own, and the restroom is a bit of a walk from where the workshop will be held.
-- If you're picking up your child after the session, please be sure to arrive on time, as they will be released into the library immediately.
