This summer, robots take over the Makerspace, which will be open three days a week. In the Robot Mayhem lab, participants can design and build their own robot companions to take home. The activity is aimed at everyone over the age of 7 and has been developed by Curiosum guide Mika Sinclair as part of her Master's degree in Interaction Design.
“My goal with Robot Mayhem is to share how fun it is to learn something new. I want everyone participating to laugh, think, and maybe learn something too – but most importantly, I want them to experience how enjoyable robots can be,” says Mika, who will also lead the lab this summer.
Curiosum's new LEGO workshop is perfect for families who want to explore creativity and technology together. With two large building tables and a wall for vertical constructions, the workshop offers a fun and engaging environment for building with technical LEGO.

For those craving a snack or ice cream, Café Nyfiket is open, and for those who want to continue exploring at home, the shop is filled with exciting books, experiments, and other intriguing challenges.
