Robots and Recipe Machines

Years 3-4

One-off workshop

Students document their experiences befriending their very own robot as they engage with the playful world of renowned paper cut artist and picture book author, Chihiro Takeuchi. They will develop skills in poetry writing and worldbuilding as they concoct a whimsical recipe where tipping a basket of strawberries into a cup of imagination might just create a new robotic bestie.
