**Also, does anyone have any good media links for sharing and demoing these lovely robots?** Sharing on Blue Peter would be a childhood dream fulfilled, but I also interested in programs or channels with adult reach, maybe with a focus on technology? Please message if you do!

We're setting out to discover how to make giant robotic installations postable. With an easy set-up that requires no technical expertise, audiences anywhere in the world will be able to befriend our other-worldly creations. Where would you love to see our robots appearing?!

Children with SEN and their parents do so much to make school work for them. The system is creaking and in many cases already failing. Cutting the number of kids that can access to the specialist support they NEED f-ing sucks as a strategy. https://t.co/7ljpWEkMhx

It was great to see this on its preview! As a leaf-based beverage buff and story-lover this was exactly my cup of tea (sorry). Good luck @NNFest and the rest of the summer 🫖

I tried to write a blog for @WWconsortium about why it's important for artists to make work about the environment (it turns out I don't!). This is instead about why I think public artwork has power in these terrifying times. Let me know if you think about this non-stop too...

Our co-founder Emma Powell has written about creating artwork in the Climate Crisis for @WWconsortium blog. It may not be super Christmassy, but there is some hope and celebration of positive action. Have a read and let us know what you think 👇 https://t.co/Ppeecrwii1
