Pop-Up Science Museum

Come one, come all to the Pop-Up Science Museum!

Amongst tampering with DON-8r and tempering with chocolate electronics I have been organising a robotics workshop as part of the Small Society Lab’s Pop-Up Science Museum. It is on this Friday, the 17th June. We’re getting in 40 a few RC cars, a heap of junk and electronics then getting a group of children to hack and create their own robots. The idea being to encouraging them to think about what a robot is, or could be while developing an understanding of prototyping and hacking.

Along with this we have mini workshops for cosmology, rocket science, engineering and quantum physics. Bearing in mind this day is for all ages, these topics will have activities and appeal for children and parents alike. So bearing this in mind here is the link to the event page again - The Small Society Lab’s Pop-Up Science Museum. Be sure to book if interested, it’s already looking set to be busy!

Above is the poster I designed alongside fellow Small Socialite Patrick Stevenson-Keating. What you see is very much a product design approach to poster design - electronics, hacking, glueing and spraying with a touch of digital work thrown in for details sake. I bought an airfix kit, cut up a sprue, glued in some electronics and sprayed grey. This was put on a pink background while Paddy photographed the set up and we worked together to produce the digital image. This took about 2 days so here are a few snaps of it in progress.

Again, the finished image is at top so if you are interested then click on the poster or follow the links above. If you have any questions about the day fire me an email at tim[at]timpryde.com or leave a comment below!
