Looking for fun, hands-on activities to spark young imaginations? Every Saturday, W5 LIFE (Learning and Innovation For Everyone) opens its doors to a world of creativity, coding, science, and seasonal surprises with exciting family-friendly drop-in sessions.
From coding colourful paths for our brand-new Sphero Indi robots, racing rovers through obstacle courses, and taking on the Spooky Sphero Halloween Challenge, to stepping inside our awe-inspiring StarDome planetarium for Space Week, there’s something different to discover each weekend.
Please note that all children must be accompanied by an adult.
Check out the full programme below and plan your Saturday adventure to W5 LIFE:

Join us in W5 LIFE this Halloween as you learn to drive a Sphero BOLT and put your skills to the test! Then, let your imagination run batty by creating a fang-tastic Halloween cover – will your robot roll out as a pumpkin, ghost, or a real monster mash-up? Join us for a frightfully fun mix of tech and tricks!
Drop by between 10am-12pm or 1:30pm-4:30pm.
Free sessions. No booking required.
Places will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis as capacity is limited.
W5 LIFE is located within the Odyssey Place facing the main entrance to W5.
