About
Learn how automata works and how to design your own.
This is a hands-on creative class where you'll learn about different types of mechanisms like cranks, cams, linkages, shafts, and more. You'll use a variety of mediums and practical elements to build several fun automata projects.
Families will be invited to enjoy sharing time during the last 20 minutes of the class on the final day to view and take photos and videos of student creations. Students will take all their creations home with them.
