Edison coding workshops Toowoomba Region Libraries are running Meet Edison coding and robotics sessions during the July school holidays. Edison is a super cute robot that can be personalised with LEGO and tested in a fun series of challenges. These easy to use, Lego compatible robots, are heaps of fun and a great way to learn the basics of drop and drag coding. Edison can: • respond to light and sound. • follow lines and avoid obstacles. • communicate with other Edison robots. • connect to other Edison robots and LEGO bricks. Meet Edison sessions will be run in all 11 Toowoomba Region Libraries. Please contact your local branch for more information. Pop Culture Festival is back and bigger than ever! Join us for a super day out for the whole family. Events include cosplay workshops and panels, comic illustrators, a comic illustration workshop, special guests, free kids activities, kids cosplay parade and more. The Eclectic Emporium will be filled with an array of all things geek, pop culture, quirky and wondrous for your purchasing pleasure.
