Robot Day

University of Nottingham School of Computer Science, 25 April 2026

FREE entry

Robot Day is a celebration of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Maths (STEAM) for people of all ages. Our events showcase the value of robotics to society and raise public engagement with issues relating to robotics, automation and artificial intelligence

Robot Days are free events aimed at people of all ages and backgrounds. Visitors to a typical event have the chance to build their own robot, get hands-on with coding, hear from inspirational experts about how robots improve people’s lives and experience virtual reality. There are also artistic performances and exhibits that explore the theme through creative works such as craft and dance workshops and a range of static and moving exhibits.
