Animation Machine - Get animated with a moving-picture machine that you build yourself, and turn still images into amazing animations! Discover the tricks of perception that allow your brain to “see” motion when looking at rapidly shifting stills. Explore the clever camera tricks that make classic animated films so lively, then create scenes using an optical illusion called a moiré pattern.
Automaton - Take a peek inside automaton mechanics! Engineer a hand-cranked, wooden automaton that makes a marble climb stairs. Learn about other fascinating automatons in history and build your own.
Trebuchet - Launch an interest in STEM and engineer a working trebuchet. Experiment with aim and angles by adjusting the weight in your trebuchet. Explore the science of levers and how they help machines (like seesaws and trebuchets) harness the force of gravity and lift heavy weights. Ready, aim, and fire - with physics!
