All you need to know

Saturday Kids is a creative coding company started 10 years ago with the sole intention of providing a creative outlet for kids through tech. To date, we are still being fueled by that mission but have extended ourselves to involve more application based technologies to help kids actualize their designs.

Together with The Botanist and Her Thieves, Saturday Kids is excited to present Plants & Pollinators with LEGO®. In this workshop, parents and their child will be using special Lego kits to model the relationship between a flower and its pollinator during the reproductive phase of a plant.

Oh! The stuff you'll learn

Discover how code and mechanisms synergise in robotics – learn how hardware and code interface with each other.
Combine hardware and software (LEGO and Scratch) to create a plant & pollinator prototype.
Articulate your thoughts and ideas in order to present your project.

Life skills you'll learn

Creative Confidence

Logical Thinking

Problem Solving

Pedagogy

No lectures. No memorisation. No ONE right answer. Like real life, we're all about trying things out yourself, failing, figuring what went wrong & trying again. These are the skills & mindset that will last a lifetime and how we learn in real life. Let's get kids to learn how to learn. Because the kids who learn to learn become curious, inventive, resourceful human beings who solve real world problems to make a meaningful impact.
