Tech Jam is on today at Illogan Parish Council Community Hall. Drop in with your kids anytime between 10am and 2pm and set their tech curiosity free!

𝐅𝐑𝐄𝐄 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐨𝐧 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬!

What if an Arctic explorer from Liskeard had a micro: bit?
On Tuesday 27 October, your child can find out. At Extraordinary Explorers they’ll:

• Build a wearable Smart Beacon that sends a distress signal, the rescue call HMS Resolute’s George Lower never had

• Program a Raspberry Pi rover that makes its own decisions, just like the rovers on Mars

No experience needed. All equipment provided. Places are funded by the Lyskerrys Fund, so there’s nothing to pay. 𝐉𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐚 𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐚 𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐭.

And here’s the best bit: it’s a full day (9:30am - 4:30pm) at Liskeard Library, so you can drop them off and enjoy a day to yourself while they learn to be tech explorers. ☕

Where? Liskeard Library, Barras St, Liskeard
Ages? 10–14
Cost? Free for Caradon residents, but spaces are limited!

Fancy taking the kids to a FREE STEM learning workshop for young people? No booking, just turn up?

Cornwall Tech Jam is back at Illogan Community Hall on Saturday 17th October, 10am to 2pm. Drop in at any time and get hands-on with coding, circuits and electronics, using kit that's not always available at home or school.

Friendly volunteers from Cornwall's tech industry will be on hand to help young people build their own projects, and parents are welcome to join in too.

• 10am to 2pm, come for five minutes or whole session for free
• Under 16s must be accompanied by a parent or guardian

Now's the perfect moment to give your child a new outlet for their curiosity. Cornwall Tech Jam is back this Saturday 12th September, 10am–2pm at Fibrehub, Pool (TR15 3GF). And it's completely FREE.

New term energy is real, and coding, circuits and robotics are a brilliant way to channel it. Whether your child has never touched a line of code or is already building their own projects, Tech Jam meets them exactly where they are.

• Hands-on coding & electronics
• Real tech gear they won't get at home or school
• Friendly industry volunteers on hand to guide and inspire
• No booking needed, just turn up!
• Free parking too

Parents, this one's for you too. Come along, see what's possible, and pick up ideas to keep the momentum going at home.

Make this school year the one your child discovers a real passion for STEM*.

See you at Fibrehub! 🚀

Congratulations to everyone who's opened their GCSE results today! However the numbers landed, they're a snapshot, not a sentence. A tech career doesn't run on a single exam day: some of the best engineers, developers and problem-solvers started with grades that didn't tell the full story, and found their way in through apprenticeships, bootcamps, self-taught projects, or just sheer curiosity and persistence.

What matters far more than today's results is the willingness to keep building, keep tinkering, and keep asking "how does this work?" If tech is where your curiosity lives, there's a route in for you, today's results are just one step on a much longer, more interesting path.

From a distress beacon to a robot on Mars, here's what could be in store for your kids:

Part 1: Code a wearable "Smart Beacon" on a micro:bit that detects a fall and sends a rescue signal, inspired by the real story of Liskeard explorer George Lower.

Part 2: Program a rover to navigate on its own, just like Perseverance and Curiosity on Mars!

No experience needed. All kit provided. And thanks to the Lyskerrys Fund, it's free for families in the Caradon district.

Available for ages 10 - 14. The workshop will be held at Liskeard Library on Wed 26 Aug from 9:30am to 4:30pm

Calling all budding future tech coders and innovators. We have recently added new 2026 Tech Jam events across !

These free, drop-in coding and electronics sessions are where young people don't just watch technology happen; they build it. From their first lines of code to hands-on circuit building with kit they might never get to touch at home or school, kids work side-by-side with real tech industry volunteers who once sat exactly where they're sitting now.

It's informal, it's hands-on, and for many young people it's the first moment tech stops being something you consume and becomes something you make, the exact kind of spark that turns a Saturday morning into the start of a career. No booking, no cost, just drop in with your curiosity.

In the 1850s, a Liskeard man sailed into the Arctic and had no way to call for help if things went wrong.

This August, kids aged 10–14 get to solve that problem themselves, then use the same skills to program a Mars rover.

𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐂𝐨𝐫𝐧𝐰𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐮𝐞𝐬!

Every year we run rover-building workshops, Mission to Mars experiences, Tech Explorers days, Tech Jam, and our tech networking events. We are putting young people and local businesses through hands-on tech experiences across Cornwall.

Behind every one of those is a venue that made it work: the room, the tables, the power sockets, the coffee that kept everyone going.

We're building a list of preferred venue suppliers across Cornwall, spaces we can turn to first when we're planning our next workshop, masterclass, or careers event.

If you run a venue that could host groups for hands-on, high-energy sessions (think: robots on tables, teams huddled over laptops, the odd bit of noise and mess that comes with real learning, or the sound of deep business discussions coupled with laughter), we'd love to hear from you.

Tech Explorers offers your 10 to 14 year olds a full day of building real robots, and not just watching videos about them*. They’ll code with micro:bit and Raspberry Pi Pico, work in a team, and go home having actually built and driven their own rover… And they may not even realize you have snuck some education into their summer holidays!

All materials included. Just bring a packed lunch.
📅 Wednesday 29th July, Camborne Community Centre, £35
