Pimoroni
Algorithmic bracelet making
Between 10am and 2pm - drop by and make algorithmic bracelets with Pimoroni! Explore number patterns and how a mathematical seed can generate unique jewellery. You only need to be able to count to ten, but you'll find out some of the underlying patterns of the universe.
PENELOPE project
Penelopean performance with Maypole-dancing robots
Giovanni Fanfani, Dave Griffiths and Alex McLean will recite Ancient Greek poetry, choreograph woven robots, and live code musical patterns respectively. This three-layered performance brings together Greek choral dance-and-song, braiding, and rhythm in an inter-disciplinary exploration of ancient metrical pattern. We invite you to join in, and help the robots create a braid on the maypole.
