Trash Robot Toys

2017 | A free workshop for 6 - 12 year olds to create talking robots in collaboration with Marlen Rau

In August 2017 I was invited to run a workshop in Somerset House's Great arch to coincide with a series of sustainability-focused events for the family to engage with.

In collaboration with designer Marlen Rau, we designed and ran a free event that allowed 6 - 12 year olds to create toys from materials that were destined for landfill.

Over the course of the workshop we helped foster the children's innate creativity to make new characters, engaging them with the potential to see new value in objects that would normally be thrown away.

We also offered simple sound recording and playback chips, the type often found in audio greeting cards.

These allowed each child to record a voice for their creation to help bring the character to life!
