Family ‘recode’ workshops at Imagination Lab
The Institute of Imagination’s Imagination Lab, designed to foster young imagination, opened its doors in February on London’s Albert Embankment, and this weekend there are three-hour family workshops at the lab on both Saturday and Sunday.

Participants can create Morse code by building a transmitter, then create their own coding languages, set off a chain reaction of events, code with art by instructing a robot and learn about basic programming language and how to navigate the internet. The event is recommended for children aged 5 to 12 years, and all participants need to be accompanies by an adult.
