Maker Workshop: Tinkering with Wiggle Bots
A wiggle bot is a simple robot that can shake, wiggle, and dance across a table! In this workshop, a Science World Tinkerer will help you imagine, create, and test a Wiggle Bot made with a motor and materials you can find at home. You will learn how to make a simple circuit to make your motor turn on. What will your Wiggle Bot look like?
What is "tinkering"?
Tinkering is mindful messing about with tools and materials, with the goal of finding out their possibilities and limitations. When we tinker, we learn about scientific topics, make new things from existing parts, solve problems, and learn by making mistakes. In this workshop, participants will not be shown how to make a Wiggle Bot step-by-step, but be encouraged to use the materials they have to create their own unique design.
Some specialized materials for this workshop will be provided by Science World. Other materials will not and will need to be provided by the participant to complete the activity. Science World will provide:
