Global workshop on robots for kids led by a
kid by 12 year old
Daniil Frants in collaboration with local Berlin
children & community organizations - July
12, 13, 14, 15
International
nonprofit organization
RSPROJECTS has joined forces with Russia's infamous tech savvy
organization
Cyland and youth programs of Berlin to bring a series of free summer
classes on
robots for kids led by a kid. The hands on class, which ranges between
an hour
to two hours long, is led by Daniil Frants, a twelve year old boy.
Having
taught this class in Russia, New York and Japan - Daniil
builds cultural
bridges by teaching a subject near and dear to all children nowadays - technology.
An opportunity
to gain basic understanding of mechanical engineering, an experience of
connecting with others from different backgrounds as well as an
introduction to
possible careers in the tech field - "Humanizing
Robots" teaches a broad
spectrum of social and practical skills.
In this
art and tech class we (Daniil and
adults from RSP and the youth programs) will experiment with robots,
take them
apart, explore their inner structure und revive them again. Through the
eyes of
a 12
year old
kid, you will learn about the basics of computer works, the components
that
make robots mobile. Using small toy robots we will demonstrate the
miracle of
the electronic parts working together. Then applying stick and paint and
through your imagination we will give our robots a total make over.
Learn, see
and create- Your personal toy robot for fun!
