Water Bots, led by immersive arts organisation BOM (Birmingham Open Media) in collaboration with the Canal & River Trust, is a public engagement programme celebrating the West Midlands’ engineering innovation, from steam to sustainable energy, through performances and workshops along canals in Birmingham and the Black Country.
The project engages six engineers and international artist Michael Candy to deliver spectacular public events and workshops for children and young people celebrating waterborne robotic sculptures. The STEAM schools programme will engage underserved young people in the different engineering processes behind the sculptures and give learners opportunities to meet and hear from local engineers about their work and the future of engineering innovation.
