RoboFesta-UK
8th Annual Open Meeting
This event took place on 6th November 2008 at 10:00am (10:00 GMT)
Berrill Lecture Theatre, The Open University, Walton Hall Campus, Milton Keynes, United Kingdom
Educators, academic researchers and industry representatives are meeting at the Open University on Thursday 6th November to discuss the development of RoboFesta-UK and Walking With Robots.
RoboFesta-UK is an exciting nationwide initiative to help children learn about science, engineering, technology and mathematics through building and experimenting with robots.
Walking with Robots is an EPSRC-funded three-year programme of events and activities designed to delight audiences with the potential of robotics research whilst encouraging them to consider both the technical challenges and ethical implications of that research.
The meeting will be designed to encourage participation from the attendees. Participants from all sectors are welcome - education (from schools to HE), museums/science centres, educational retail, and STEMNET member organisations.
The final session will explore the possibility of a UK Festival of Robotics aimed at pulling together many of the successful robotics outreach projects the community is delivering.
The RoboFesta-UK annual open meeting is unique in its scope, and in previous years has provided fertile ground for establishing new robotics related initiatives on local and national scales.
