This Easter holiday, MAAT invites children to get their hands dirty in workshops where robotics and mechanics meet imagination. Through construction, experiments and practical challenges, participants will explore how machines and systems work, test ideas and create their own projects in an environment designed to spark curiosity, creativity and the joy of learning to make things.

Workshops

LET'S RACE!

30 March to 02 April 2026

Science workshop

In a real workshop environment, with all the materials and tools at their disposal, participants are challenged to build their own car, assembling it step by step until they see it working. During this process, they will discover how electricity and mechanics work together, while having fun during these days. At the end, the cars go home with those who built them.

CREATIVE ROBOTIC DEVICES - ARTBOT

07 April to 10 April 2026

Art and Robotics Workshop

We're going to develop robotic mechanisms and systems that allow us to express ourselves artistically through drawing, sound, light, and movement. Inspired by the exhibitions currently on show at MAAT, we will explore the concepts, themes, and challenges that the works suggest by making robotic instruments powered by algorithms we create ourselves. Creative machines that draw, react, produce sounds, and help us understand the world around us. The unexpected, the error and uncertainty will be present... They all have their place, allowing us to learn from and be impressed by them.
