Most of this was made through trial and error, with lots of adjustments to make things work the way I wanted. If you plan to make one, depending on the materials you use, you may need to do a bit of measuring and tinkering to work out some of the details on your own. 187.pdf. 111.pdf. 226.pdf. 11: The Magnet Motor Chimes.

Summary In this activity, teams of students learn about the history and engineering behind big wheels (Ferris wheels) by constructing a working model using pasta, glue, and teabags. Grade level: K-12. Oakland Discovery Center: Sound Automata. Sound automata is a modified automata mechanism designed to make a series of sounds instead of animate a scene or character.
We've separated the material needed for the mechanism for the automata and the noise makers in order to make things clearer. Oakland Discovery Center: Scribbling Machines. Materials: • Skewers • Dowels • Popsicle sticks • Clothes pins • Cups • Cardboard tubes • Pipe cleaners or wire • Masking tape • Rubber bands of various sizes • Straws • Hobby motor • Annealed steel wire.
How to Make a Custom Operation Game. In the original game, the patient had ailments such as "Butterflies in the Stomach", "Spare Ribs", and a "Wish Bone.

I am very pleased today to bring you a tutorial on how to work with my favorite-est crafting material of all: I've been working with cardboard even longer than I've been sewing and working with fabric.
One of my most-used toys as a kid was a roll of scotch tape, with which I assembled all kinds of structures with found objects around the house. Whenever we had access to cardboard, which wasn't as often as I wished, and certainly nowhere as often as I have now, I was practically in heaven. 116. Kinetic-Contraptions-Pre-Post-Activities.pdf.

Last month, I joined a group of collaborators from various institutions around the world to host a space for making and tinkering at the ECSITE conference in Trento, Italy, where people could experience activities, discuss best practices, and share ideas. This was our third year running a maker space at the conference and this time we were extremely fortunate to be working with Sabina, who hosted us in her wonderful FabLab at the stunning MUSE building.
We set up spaces around the circular table in the FabLab for people to try out laser cutters and 3D printers, along with some other unique food-themed digital fabrication tools. As well, we set up some work tables for people to try making and tinkering activities during the conference. One main idea for the space is that through trying out activities together, people attending the conference would naturally start to share ideas, ask questions and make deeper connections.
