Four stand-alone workshops exploring how robotics can become a language of self-expression and artistic statement. Together with an engineer and artist, participants will build and program robots that not only function but also carry ideas, character, and meaning.
We will dive into the basics of engineering thinking, learn how to work with motors, sensors, and microcontrollers, and understand the principles of prototyping. Each workshop will focus on a separate theme — ecology, music, embodiment, and urbanism — becoming an independent project in itself. Working in teams of three, participants will build their own unique robot that is not only technically self-sufficient but also reflects their ideas and values.

Location: Atelier, Center for Contemporary Culture Tselinny, Masanchi St. 59, Almaty

Mentor:
Timofey Nosov — engineer and researcher working at the intersection of technology, art, and the humanities. He organizes, curates, and conducts educational programs for children and adults on topics such as ecology, contemporary art, engineering, and urban studies. His approach is based on the principles of critical pedagogy, where learning becomes not only a transfer of knowledge but also a shared exploration that develops creative and critical thinking.
