Maker Space: Digital Designers

Digital Designers is back at Culture House Sunderland on Sunday 1 November, the first of a run of Maker Space sessions that keep going through the autumn. It's a fortnightly thing, so after the first one, you'll find it again on Sunday 15 November, Sunday 29 November, and Sunday 13 December. Each session runs from 11am to 1pm, which is a handy slot if you've got the rest of your Sunday to get on with.

The whole thing takes place in the venue's Inventors Lab, and it's built around children and families exploring technology and digital creativity. The idea is to get stuck in with creative tools and bring your own ideas to life by picking up new skills along the way. It's not a structured class with a set syllabus; it's more about experimenting and seeing what you can make. If you've got a kid who's always tinkering with things, this is exactly the kind of space they'll want to be in.

It's aimed at ages 4 and over, so it works for the little ones as well as the older children, and it's a drop-in session, which is the best part — there's no booking required, so you can just turn up when it suits you. If you can't make the first one on 1 November, you've still got three more dates to choose from over the next couple of months. It's free to attend, and it runs from 11am to 1pm on Sundays 1, 15 and 29 November and Sunday 13 December at Culture House Sunderland.
