For our second project in our Maker Series we built Cardboard Automata. They are a playful way to explore simple machine elements such as cams, levers, and linkages, while creating a mechanical sculpture.
We used simple materials that you could find around your house:
- cardboard
- duct tape
- scissors
- straw
- hot glue gun
- Foamies
- skewer sticks
Check out how it works
This project was inspired by creations from the Tinkering Studio at the Exploratorium in San Francisco, Ca. Instructions for this project can be found here.
