We are currently running the following groups. If you wish to join a group or help form a new group focusing on your own area of interest, please get in touch with Kevin via our contact page…
Technohackers Science and Technology Group
Ages 9 – 15, Thursday 3:15 to 5:30pm.
The Science and Technology session is an after school group for kids and young teens looks into science and technology with a bit of an experimental angle. We intend it to be a fun clever environment where disaster has plenty of opportunity. The things we do and the topics we cover will be eclectic. Each term will focus on a theme but will stray a bit as we see other interesting things to play with. Term 1 this year was investigating plastic while Term 2 looked at the brain and perception (reality). This Term we will be looking at the making of “things”. We never follow a linear path so who knows what we might actually do? We are also currently inventing/developing and playing a room scale game called “The Humans are Dead”.

Questionable Research Labs
Teens, Thursday 6pm to 8pm.
This is a Teen (13+) coding/game development/hardware/random questionable project group . If you are into gaming then it’s all about taking that obsession a bit further by getting into game development. For this we are focusing on the Unity game engine. If you like making things then this is also a place you will find others who will be keen to get involved questionable projects. As with all Technohacker groups and events, we have an expectation people start not knowing what they are doing. After that we do our best to fight off disaster. And sometimes we do. And sometimes we do spectacularly. This group is a chance to join in with other interesting people and maybe to do coding, graphics, robotics, science, and most probably game playing. We normally order in pizza for dinner but that is theoretically not a requirement. Code, Play, Eat, Talk, Make, Test, Panic, Pretend we know what we are doing, Relax.

Technohackers Coding Group
Ages 9+, Tuesday 3:15 to 5:30pm.
The Technohackers Coding Group is all about getting into coding and dreaming about the cool game they are going to create. You can start in this group without knowing what you are doing 
(Technohackers all start not knowing what they are doing) and work towards your own creations. This group is about learning coding to make games. We Create and We Play.
Contact Kevin for more information. Participants will need access to a laptop, perseverance and a love of computer games. We have a couple spare laptops and are always looking for not-too-old donations.

Technohackers Robotics Group
Ages 9+, Not Running This Term.
The Technohackers Robotics Group is all about building and programming your own robot. We do most of our work from scratch. No shiny off the shelf robots here. Technohackers all start not knowing what they are doing as you get skills and learn you can move to building your own robotic lifeforms and inventions. We Build and We Play. Without a doubt, there will be plenty of disaster and probably smoke.
This group will be restarted in Term 4. Contact Kevin for more information. Participants will need access to laptop, perseverance and a love wild ideas.
