Nintendo Labo Workshop
We went to Scienceworks for the Nintendo Labo workshop back in March and we took some irl children to try it out. We started by making racing cars.. which somehow turned into elephants and bugs as they got decorated. Then we got to battle them against eachother. Labo kits can make a house with a hamster in it, a piano with cats in it, a motorbike, and even a robot you can wear. Kids (and grownups) can even learn how to code using the built in Discovery Studio. But probably the most amazing thing we saw was children being quiet and creating things for several hours - Nintendo Labo will make a lot of parents very happy.

However, thanks to the ingenuity of our team, we were able to quickly and easily adapt the show to work recording from our homes. Up until we’d filmed our Game of the Year episode, we hadn’t filmed a television show in the same space together in over 9 months. Even amongst the un...
