Interactive talk exploring the science of robotics, with a chance to meet different types of robots up close, suitable for families with children aged 7 to 14.
The Anatomy of a Robot is an interactive talk at The Harris on Friday 30 October, running from 1:30pm to 2:00pm in the Reading Room. It's part of the family-friendly programming at the gallery, which brings together art collections, exhibitions, libraries and children's activities under one roof in Market Square.
The session opens up the science behind robotics, and the interactive side of it means you'll get to meet different types of robots up close rather than just hearing about them. From there it looks at how biomimicry — the way engineers take inspiration from nature — and AI enable them to do clever things. It's recommended for families with children aged 7 to 14, so it's a good one if you've got kids in that bracket and a bit of a curiosity for how things work.

If you're planning your half-term, it's worth knowing this isn't a standalone. It pairs with the 'Coding My First Robot' workshop, which runs earlier that same morning, so you could make a full morning of it. The talk itself is half an hour, from 1:30pm to 2:00pm, in the Reading Room at The Harris, Market Square, Preston PR1 2PP, and tickets are £3.
