CODING & ROBOTICS OPEN DAY
FUELLED BY ASTRON ENERGY
The Cape Town Science Centre is proud to host a Coding and Robotics Open Day fuelled by Astron Energy.
Coding is the language of the future – It involves enhancing problem-solving skills, logical thinking and creativity. Robotics combines coding with electronics and mechanics to create machines that can perform tasks autonomously or with human guidance. Bring your curiosity and enthusiasm, and let’s explore the limitless possibilities of coding and robotics together.
Join us as we explore Coding & Robotics – FREE ENTRY to the Cape Town Science Centre for the entire day – includes all exhibits, hands-on workshops, shows, tours and demonstrations. Human Gyroscope, Mindball & VR Experience charged at R5 per session. All workshops need to be pre-booked on arrival.
