The Funhouse Commons presents a new after-school club, Technomages! We’ll get hands-on with technology: experimenting with electronics, building bots, coding apps and conducting teardowns in the analogue and digital world. Whether we’re programming a game, creating a gadget, or exploring the wild wonders of AI, we’ll be learning by doing. No experience? Come join the party! If you're curious about how tech works, if you love to tinker, if you want to know why tech does what it does – this club is for you!
The upcoming Technomages club will run on Fridays from April 17th - June 5th.
