The Knowledge Media Institute and the Faculty of Technology at the Open University have collaborated to produce a unique public drawing event.
RoboDoodle encouraged children of all ages to log on to a special university website to make a sketch on-line of their own design for a really useful robot.
RoboDoodle was part of The Big Draw, the festival of drawing which took place throughout the UK in October, which is organised by The Campaign for Drawing. |

Constructionism 2010 Posted by ashley on Monday, November 09 @ 12:08:55 GMT (167 reads) Topic Conferences & Workshops
| 16th – 20th August 2010
FIAP Conference Centre, Paris
I have been asked to coordinate the robotics programme for Constructionism 2010. Please contact me directly with suggestions for workshops, papers, etc. The Conference is being held in Paris 16th – 20th August 2010, but several American colleagues will be attending, so please extend the invite to the US as well.
The full Conference is far more eclectic than robotics. People with a general interest in Constructionism should contact James Clayson.
For general information see Constructionism 2010 web site.
