The Collection Danes Terrace Lincoln LN2 1LP Map
Work with a team of robotics researchers from the University of Lincoln to design a new tour for Lindsey, The Collection’s Robot Tour Guide.
Lindsey has been giving tours at the museum for the past year, learning from visitors and finding the best routes around the space. Now it's your chance to help to improve what Lindsey does.
Giving children of all ages the opportunity to learn the basics of computer programming, small groups of between 2-4 will work with experts to design their own tour, programme Lindsey the robot and see their tour in action as Lindsey guides visitors around the exhibits and artefacts in the museum.
The activity is free, but booking is recommended. For more information or to book your place, click here.
