​About

​Electric Medway is delighted to be trialling new digital workshops for primary age children. Led by our experienced creative facilitators, this series of activities is designed to get children excited about the magic of imagination and storytelling. 

​This is part of our wider Young Hack programme for young people aged 7-25 in Medway offering opportunities to develop entry-level skills in creative technology, making it a fairer place to get into the creative industries regardless of background. 

​This workshop is being presented as part of the Dockyard’s Brickwrecks: Sunken Ships in LEGO Bricks programme to recreate iconic elements of the Historic Dockyard using LEGO bricks. Individual models will come together in September to form a complete Dockyard model built entirely of LEGO and will be on display as part of the Brickwrecks exhibition.
