A creative family afternoon with robots, wonder, and plenty of participation

At the Tinkering Afternoon Special at the Knowledge Workshop Bielefeld, everything revolves around Blossom, the little robot. Families experience an open afternoon of trying things out, crafting, and discovering. The program is aimed at children from 3 years old and invites shared time full of curiosity and fun learning.

Getting to know Blossom and designing yourself

Together with robot engineer Mara Brandt from Bielefeld University, participants will create their own covers for Blossom. Paper, felt, glitter stickers, and googly eyes will gradually transform the robot into a personal figure. For children, this creates a child-friendly learning experience where creativity and technology find a playful connection.

Hands-on technology for little explorers

After crafting, the fun continues: Blossom is tried out, observed, and experienced in motion. Children and adults discover how the robot moves, what noises it makes, and how it can assist people in relaxing, storytelling, dancing, or remembering. This makes science tangible and lively for families.

A safe place for shared time

The Knowledge Workshop Bielefeld sees itself as an open learning space for participation and discovery. Particularly important for families: children up to 10 years can only participate with an adult. This creates orientation, safety, and a good feeling for all who come with younger children.

Practical information for families

The Tinkering Afternoon is free and accessible without prior registration. Those who come between 1 PM and 5 PM will find various stations for crafting and experimenting. The event takes place at the Knowledge Workshop at Wilhelmstraße 3 in Bielefeld, centrally located at Jahnplatz and easily reachable by bus and train.

Conclusion: The Tinkering Afternoon Special charmingly combines creativity, technology, and family time. Anyone interested in crafting, discovering, and a lively children's experience should meet Blossom live.
