MiniNOI Workshops

IN MOTION – Tech Festival is also a festival for the whole family!
With the NOI Techpark’s MiniNOI project, we bring science and technology closer to the most curious children. At IN MOTION we do this with Lego. Cool, right? It’s a special Lego: our constructions can also move and become real little robots. In this workshop, we learn the basics of construction and robot programming in a fun way!
