An introduction to coding with an Arduino: youtu.be/60xluTO9waQ We The Curious is opened a brand new exhibition in summer 2016 - The Tinkering Space! Aimed to inspire the inventor in us all, The Tinkering Space is for creators, inventors, dreamers and anyone who’ve ever wanted to have a go at making something. The Tinkering Space enables visitors to turn their ideas into something they can touch, design and modify, and even rebuild elements of the space itself. Opened on 23 July, the permanent exhibition will include a ‘Baxter’ robot (the first in a UK science centre), two 3D printers, an air table for testing flying devices, Shadow Theatres, make-your-own ball runs, and more.
