This October half-term, we're excited to invite young people aged 8-14 and their grownups to join us for a special halloween-themed workshop where you'll get to create a spooky character with cardboard with Richard Sewell from Airgiants.

This hands on session will explore building all types of creepy things and adding your own sound effects. Think growling gnashing teeth, or a swift zombie defeating sword - or even a creepy spindly spider. You'll learn about construction and build techniques as well as adding some simple technology to add sound effects.

He's interested in the simple pleasures to be found in interactions between people and machines, in experience design, in touch-based experiences, in play and in invitations to play. He's also interested in robots of all sort, in tools and gizmos and technical trickery.
