About this event
Holiday workshops: Smart trains and smart tracks (Year 7, 8 and 9) is part of the Holiday workshops programme at the Royal Institution in London.
Coventry is becoming one of the first cities in the world to roll out a Very Light Rail system, and the engineering researchers working on it at the University of Warwick bring their real-world expertise into the workshop to challenge participants to think like a transport engineer.
What to expect:
- Wednesday 28 October 2026, 11:00 to 15:00
- Hands-on with Intelino smart train kits: programme the vehicles, design the track layouts and build the infrastructure to solve problems from real scenarios
- For children in the school year group named in the title; the Ri says this "typically corresponds to children aged around 11–14 years old", and it reserves the right to refund or deny entry to those outside it
- The page lists the ticket price as "£55.00"
