Themed around electronics, coding, Design & Technology, Making & Physics

Suitable for schools and other settings, also now run from the Todmorden Makery.

Noisy Toys Workshop

Inside our kit boxes we find upcycled e-waste from dead computers. With this treasure and a bit of knowledge we create noisy wonders such as the Robot Chicken and the Auto-Strummer. Experiments like the Nose Test and Bass Buzz help us understand core concepts of electronics and electromagnetism. This workshop has various extension options, more info here on the Noisy Toys site.

Arcade console Workshop

Making our own games console, learning basic electronics, re-useable connectors and upcycled components

Buggy Battles

Building and coding our own battle buggies using Crumble controllers, motors and ultrasonic sensors. Then our buggies can compete in obstacle courses and battles.

Wonky Robots

We build and code a wonky shonky dancing disco robot using Crumble controllers and scratch-based code.
