Description

Join us at LaunchSpace for a hands-on play-based building workshop with teaching artist Jay Mankita! Jay will lead us through playful hands-on STEAM projects to explore engineering principles. Using common materials, kids will build unique artful mechanisms that send messages, tell stories, or accomplish tasks. Kids make scissor, reverse motion, and parallel linkages from pre-drilled craft sticks and brads which we provide, building backbones for their own artful mechanisms that send messages, tell stories, or accomplish tasks. As they build their mechanisms, they create their own designs as overlays, which in turn, modify the mechanisms. Engineering informs design, and vice versa.
