Kinetic Creations & Interactive Design

Build it, move it, bring it to life! This hands-on STEM-powered workshop explores the magic of mechanical movement through flapping creatures and rolling automata.

Morning, 10-1pm: Flapping Creatures
Craft a mechanical moth, butterfly or dragon with flapping wings! Learn how hinges, levers and simple linkages bring paper and cardboard to life, then decorate your creature with bold colours and intricate patterns.

Afternoon, 1-4pm: Moving Car Contraptions
Design a moving car automata using a rolling belt and crank mechanism. Watch as your car, spaceship or futuristic vehicle drives across a winding road or other dynamic scene.

A full day of tinkering, creating, and bringing art to life through movement!
