Programme

WHAT DOES AI DREAM ABOUT?   Is the King Really Dead? CAN PIXELS CONTROL YOU? WHAT IS THE TURING TEST? CAN YOU TALK TO A LAMP POST? CAN A ROBOT BE COMPASSIONATE? KNOCK, KNOCK… WHO’S THERE? CAN YOU IMAGINE A BLENDED CITY?

About the programme

We have a continuing programme of events and activities taking place, including installations at venues across Leicester city centre. During Summer 2022, we are running a photogrammetry contest and in September 2022, we are part of the British Science Festival which this year is being hosted by De Montfort University in Leicester.  Be sure to check the dates and venues and we’d love to hear your feedback too! 

All activities are FREE but for some, we need you to book, details on each of the event pages.
