It’s not so difficult to make a robot if you have two of the most interesting robot artists explaining you what to do. Christian Faubel and Ralf Schreiber have been teaching people how to make robots for years. Their workshops are famous for being informative, fun and inspiring. Electric know-how is not required.

Participants can build their own individual sounding modules and simple moving solar robots. Motors, solar panels and various electronic components are provided. At the end of the day everybody goes home with a nice robot!

For the more experienced solderers it is good to know that for this workshop Ralf and Christian will also bring more advanced and complex robot parts that will easily keep you occupied for one or two days.

The workshop will be held in the new Mediamatic exhibition Night Garden at the groundfloor of the Post CS Building in Amsterdam. This place is teeming with technology, art and food. Visitors can wander through a digital forest, learn about mating call science, experience psycho-chemical garden furniture and eat at a prototype restaurant serving more than 30 sorts of sprouted micro-greens.

Costs: 15 euro per day.

The workshop starts on Saturday at 15.00 hrs and on Sunday at 13.00 hrs.

If this sounds like a fun way to spend a couple of days with us please send an email to mail@mediamatic.net.
