Did you know that artificial intelligence is also used in art and that there are even artists who build an orchestra from robots? In the workshop inspired by Vera Molnár, who uses technology as a tool to produce paintings that expand the boundaries of both science and art, children design a drawing robot using various materials. While exploring electrical circuits, motors and the design process, they imagine and create their own drawing robots. At the end of the workshop, the robots, which can make random drawings with the colors chosen by the children, dance freely on paper.
