In this workshop for beginners, we will take a deep dive into one of the tried and true tinkering activities, cardboard automata. We will make and construct with simple everyday materials and create unique projects driven by personal interest. Combining art and science, the workshop will provide many entry points for all learners.

We will use this experience to uncover some of the essential qualities of a tinkering approach to learning. If you’ve never been to the Ecsite MakerSpace (or to any MakerSpace!) this is a great place to start.

Wondering what a MakerSpace is? This is our definition for the Ecsite conference. Don't hesitate to pop by during one of the drop-in slots!
