Workshops for children aged 6 to 12

Sunday, December 14, 2025

From 3:00 p.m. “Game Lab” for ages 6 to 10
From 4:30 p.m. “Bio-inspired Robotics Zoo-tech” for ages 8 to 12

Aula Miri

On the occasion of Other Intelligences, a collective exhibition that aims to investigate intelligences other than human intelligence (scheduled from November 13, 2025, to January 2026), MEET and Scuola di Robotica are offering themed workshops that use digital art as a starting point to explore different intelligences and reflect on their impact on contemporary society.

The workshops offer practical, creative, and collaborative activities designed to stimulate critical thinking, curiosity, and active participation. Through interactive experiences, participants take part in a project whose goal is to connect the artistic experience with interdisciplinary learning paths, capable of inspiring new visions and skills to live in the present and imagine the future with awareness.

Game Lab. Video game in code

Inspired by the game design logic introduced by some of the installations in the exhibition area, participants will be invited to experience firsthand the power of video games as a narrative and creative tool. After a brief introduction on the role that technology has played over time in transforming the way we communicate and imagine stories, the children will use an intuitive block-based programming language to bring to life a video game they have designed themselves: they will choose characters, settings, rules, and challenges, programming interactions and actions to build a small playable digital world. In dialogue with the work The Alluvials, the students will discover how video games can become a universal language for exploring complex themes and recounting new perspectives, stimulating creativity, computational thinking, and initiative.

In this workshop, participants will discover how creativity and technological development can arise from imitating living beings. Using LEGO® Education SPIKE Prime, students will work in groups to build and program a robot capable of reproducing animal behavior. Block programming will allow them to bring movements and interactive reactions to life, experiencing firsthand the dialogue between biological observation and technological invention. The activity is an opportunity to reflect on how nature can inspire new forms of artificial intelligence and robotics. An experience that intertwines science, creativity, and imagination, showing how other forms of intelligence can become keys to designing the future.
