Thanks to everyone who joined our Family Fun Festival last Saturday. Here's a small 'thank you' from the Robodog brought to us by Isobel Standen from Philosophy and the team from the Institute for Safe Autonomy 🐶
Francisca Fernandez Arce from @uoyenglishrl.bsky.social explored the art of pamphlets; Lucy Handford from Archaeology introduced the chewing system; and Thin Ice Press brought along portable presses.
(Video description for accessibility: 2 researchers standing and smiling. Between them a robot that is supposed to be a dog but doesn't quite look like one. It has 4 legs and for the video it is standing on 2 and bringing its front paws together in celebration)
Isobel Standen from @uoyphilosophy.bsky.social and colleagues from the Institute for Safe Autonomy brought their 'Robodog!; Sophie White also from Philosophy introduced us to the world of Margaret Cavendish, and Ben Eyes from @school-of-act.bsky.social shared 'Ghost in the Piano'.
This Saturday we are hosting the 'Festival Fringe Family Fun Afternoon' 🎉 We will have 8 activities for families running from 1pm to 4pm in the Ron Cooke Hub and that showcase research projects across the Faculty. No need to book just come along 😊 yorkfestivalofideas.com/2026/calenda...
Congratulations to all who shared their work as part of the @yorkfestofideas.bsky.social. We had 8 great activities. Mia Gane from @uoyphilosophy.bsky.social explored the concept of home through crafts; Matthew Hall from @school-of-act.bsky.social invited participants to build their own bandstand.
Join us for an afternoon of energetic, creative, crafty, puzzling, scientific and historical fun at this year’s Festival Fringe Family Fun Afternoon.
