Robot Romeo

About this Session

Elby is directing a production of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet – but it’s a disaster! By learning about the characters, we will try to help save this play!

  • Components: micro:bit LED array
  • Concepts: loops, pause blocks, sequencing
  • Guiding Question: What are these characters feeling, and how can we represent feelings with code?

How Did They Do That?

We’ve got a whole new world of Elizabethan drama, behind the wall and powered by robots and toilet paper tubes! We’re pulling back the curtain on “Robot Romeo,” our ridiculously fun, tech-infused puppet show that’s shaking up how we experience Shakespeare. Join us as Amanda Jeane chats with Kelsey and Matt, and discover how they’re making Shakespeare relatable, programmable, and downright hilarious for a new generation.
