Robotics Workshop
Saturday 24 October 2026
An exciting, hands-on introduction to robotics and programming! Children will meet Dash, a fun and interactive robot, and discover how robots move, sense their surroundings and follow instructions. Using a simple programming app, children will learn the basics of coding, create their own programmes and control Dash in real time through fun, age-appropriate challenges. The workshop encourages creativity, logical thinking, problem-solving and teamwork while making learning fun and engaging.

IF Oxford uses Pay What You Decide (PWYD) ticketing, which means you can choose to pay whatever you want — or can afford. You can make your donation during booking, at the event, or afterwards. Please note that there is a free ticket option for this event.
We suggest a donation of £7.50. If even half of IF Oxford’s visitors gave that, the charity could plan next year’s community science and ideas Festival with confidence. If you decide another amount works better for you, please give that instead — every contribution helps keep the Festival free at the point of entry for everyone who needs it to be — the most important thing is that we can all enjoy a good Festival together, thank you.
All ticket options offer the same access. The contribution associated with this ticket is considered a donation in support of the Festival. Please choose the amount that feels right for you.
Please arrive at least ten minutes before the start. Unclaimed places are released at the start to people waiting at the door, and entry may be refused once the event has begun.
If you do not have a ticket, it is worth coming along — booked-up events often have space on the day.
Ages are a guide only, under-16s to be accompanied by a responsible adult.
The Festival reserves the right to modify event formats and manage the audience in accordance with the Festival’s Attendance Policy:
