The weekend

One weekend.
Two ways to think bigger.

From building a first business idea to exploring the possibilities of AI, FutureMakers Weekend gives children the chance to experiment, create and share what they make.

Saturday is about making something people want. Sunday is about telling a clever tool what you imagine. Take one day or take both: the same curious thinking runs through each.

Sat24Oct Business Young Entrepreneurs Lab Invent it. Price it. Pitch it. Sun25Oct AI AI Creators Lab Imagine it. Prompt it. Make it.

Book either day, or both for less.

The project board

Not just watching. Making.

Children learn by trying things out. Each workshop includes a guided challenge and a project they can share with their family.
