FutureMakers Weekend Sat 24 Oct + Sun 25 Oct 2026

Big ideas start small.

Two playful, hands-on online workshops where young minds explore business, discover AI and turn their ideas into something of their own.

  • 2 live workshops
  • Ages 6–14
  • Online
  • Business and AI

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.

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.
