PIE@Exploratorium's Toy Automata Workshop

Type: Workshop
Program Area: Games and Play

All Day Saturday only

Location: Fiesta Hall Workshop

In this open workshop, developed by the Playful Invention and Exploration program, as part of Exploratorium's Learning Studio, learn to create working automata out of simple parts and hot glue. Toy automata are delightful, wind-up or hand-crank machines that preceded the age of electronic toys. It's a fun way to learn about simple machines and mechanical models. This is a drop-in workshop with room for 12-15 participants at one time. It will take about 20 minutes to make your own automata to take home.
