Due to high demand, we’ve opened a second Family Exploration session from 2:30 PM – 3:30 PM for those who missed the earlier booking.

Tickets for this year’s 123Robot Competition & Family Tech Open Day session starting at 1:30 PM on 13th June have now officially sold out.

Following the fantastic response and feedback from last year, we’ve made this year’s event even bigger and better including moving to a larger venue at Xcite Broxburn to accommodate more activities.

If you’re expecting polished commercial technology displays, you may be surprised most of what you’ll see has been custom-made or creatively improvised, with children showcasing their creativity, engineering, coding, and problem-solving skills through projects they have helped design and build themselves.

Things for children to get involved in include:
• VEX Robotics
• LEGO Robotics
• JYLE | 123Robot Kits
• Impact Drive Remote Controlled Car Challenge
• Live Robot Dog Demonstrations
• Kid-Friendly Electronic Circuits …and much more.

Our students have competed in major STEM events including:
• FIRST Tech Challenge
• VEX IQ Challenge
• The Big Bang Competition
• European Space Agency CanSat Competition
• and more

We’ve helped children build confidence and develop vital future skills, while offering subsidised and free places thanks to the support of paying families and dedicated volunteers.

Our Saturday workshops in Broxburn run five sessions every Saturday, supporting 60 children.

For the first time, we’re hosting the 123Robot™ Competition to expand access to hands-on robotics.

Our Family event is open for everyone — registration required.

Congratulations to Kanav, a team member of First Step Robotics, on this fantastic achievement!

His project, “AeroAid: Autonomous VTOL Quadplane,” being selected as a finalist in the The Big Bang UK Young Scientists and Engineers Competition 2026 is truly inspiring—especially among over 800 young innovators across the UK.

Wishing him the very best as he showcases his work at The Big Bang Fair at the National Exhibition Centre from 9–11 June.

We’re incredibly proud to support and witness young people pushing the boundaries of innovation.
