Design, make and test experiments for Birmingham City centre to make our city a better place, AND more fun! Working with a team of artists and technologists, research and design anything – from bins that sing, to embarrassing burglar alarms for market stalls.

This workshop is for the young people of Birmingham looking for something different to do this Summer. No experience needed.

Oh wow, this looks amazing, exactly what my son is into! :D He will be nearly 12 though by that date, an awkward age for either camp, so I just hope they continue to run it as I may consider it in a year or two from now.
Hi there Taylor Two – Louise from BOM here. We hope to continue Summer Camp too – it is a great week of fun and tech! We hope to see you next year. Our Spacey exhibition is open till June 11th, we’d love to welcome you both and give you a tour :)
