Salford Science Jam is an invitation to build and bring to life Lego robots, to discover what life among Smart e-robots might be like and to get the hang of algorithms using simple programmes. It is, in other words, a ‘forest of curiosity’ peopled by writers, poets, actors, scientists, naturalists, geographers and environmentalists, ripe for exploration. Drop in any time.
