A workshop exploring the exciting connection between math, coding, and manufacturing to create embroidered patterns.
About this Event

How do we use computers to turn digital designs into real-world products? In this hands-on workshop, participants will explore how maths, coding, and manufacturing can come together to create their own embroidered patterns!

Using TurtleStitch, a beginner-friendly programming language, participants will design geometric patterns with simple programming commands. They will then see their ideas brought to life as a digital embroidery machine stitches their designs onto fabric they can take home with them.

Along the way, participants will learn how engineers use software to design, measure, and manufacture products. From simple shapes to complex patterns, this workshop offers a practical introduction to how digital designs become real-world objects - just like in industry.

For children who have just completed Years 7, 8 and 9 this term - please book based on your child’s current/most recent school year, not their new year group from September. This typically corresponds to children aged around 11–14 years old. We reserve the right to refund or deny entry to those who are not in the correct year group.

Refunds can only be issued for tickets cancelled at least two weeks (14 calendar days) in advance of the event date. Please note that this supersedes our normal event terms and conditions.
