LEGO programming
Let LEGO characters Maria, Sofie, Leo and Daniel guide you through fun activities where you can build and program your own LEGO creations. There are exercises here that are suitable for both the youngest and slightly older children. For those who want an extra challenge, we have activities with Micro:bit and LEGO Techinc where you can hone your skills even further.
Let the bullet whizz by.
Test your coding skills in our specially designed obstacle course! How many checkpoints can you reach in the time you have? With the Sphero Bolt balls, both your accuracy and creativity will be tested. Will you be the one with the highest score at the end of the day?
Bubble:bit
Program an automatic bubble machine to blow bubbles on command! What needs to happen for the bubbles to pop? A loud noise? A lot or little light? Someone stepping on a pressure-sensitive plate? Here you can just try your hand at it and make your own bubble creation!
BitBot Grand Prix
Come and test the world's coolest home-built race track. Here you can drive pre-programmed cars or program your own. Can you get the best lap time and win the race?

Do you have a musician in you? Or do you just like programming and testing new things? Or how about both? Then you are going to be part of something completely unique!
