Artful Mechanisms with Playful Engineers for Grades K - 6
Don’t miss this hands-on building workshop presented by teaching artist Jay Mankita of Playful Engineers! Participate in extraordinary maker activities using materials like paperclips, cardboard, dowels, paper cups, craft sticks, and other ordinary stuff.
Kids build basic structures for their own artful mechanisms that send messages, tell stories, or accomplish tasks. As they build according to instructions, they are also beginning to conceive and create their own designs to overlay those structures. That process in turn may lead to modifications of the structures. Engineering informs design, and vice versa.
Registration is limited to 50 attendees in grades K through 6.
