Come and join us at Tinkd Makerspace in Tauranga CBD for a hands-on taster kits activity during this October school holidays! We have created fun taster kits aimed at allowing participants to learn how to use the amazing equipment we have at Tinkd.

With the Electronics Taster Kit you will solder and build your own junk bot. Using a switch, batteries and a motor, you will use basic circuitry to create a junk bot that will move around.

IS THIS A WORKSHOP?

No. This is a self-guided session for you and your child. Each kits contain step by step instructions to help you achieve a successful end project with the help of the adult who accompanies the child and with supervision from the Tinkd team.

DO I NEED TO STAY WITH MY CHILD?

An adult helper must stay and work with the child, each adult helper can supervise no more than 3 children.

Choose from the two session times:

10am - 11am

11:30am - 12:30pm

WHAT'S THE IDEAL AGE FOR THIS ACTIVITY?

This session is suitable for children aged 8 to 16 years old. It should be able to be completed within the 1 hour window, and may even be finished earlier than this.
