Designing your own Automata
|
| Try your hand at making a piece of automata, using simple cams and crank-slider mechanisms. Sue Jackson, founder of CMT and designer of the highly acclaimed Automata Kit, will show you how to make your own automata with this versatile wooden kit. You will be able to take the kit home afterwards, and work on your own designs. Children under 10 should be accompanied by an adult |

Making Automata Out of... Food!
|
| An inspiring and unusual way of making mechanical toys, using everyday ingredients from the kitchen with Sarah Alexander. Learn how to make cookies into cams, candy into pinwheels and pasta into ratchets! Great fun. Children under 10 should be accompanied by an adult. |
