Inspired Building (Ages 4–6)
Our Inspired Building workshops are great for our youngest audience. Children can build from several inspiration cards or from their imagination. Children will use a wide range of Duplo bricks and accessories to build amazing structures, vehicles and creations. They could even build their own mini version of Fota Wildlife Park!
WeDo Junior Robotics (Ages 6–12)
Our Junior Robotics workshop involves LEGO© with a twist! Children follow step by step instructions on a laptop/tablet to build their LEGO© creation and once completed, they program it to make it come to life! Among the different build options available is a frog, so for example children could make a LEGO© version of the frogs in the Tropical House.
· Workshops are suitable for neurodivergent children.
· Guardians must supervise children during the session.
· No booking required, but spots are first-come, first-served. Subject to availability.
