About this Event
This Christmas, step into the world of mechanical magic.
In this hands-on workshop, young makers will design, build, and animate their own self-moving automata using LittleBits sensors and servos — the same tech used in museum exhibits and mini-animatronics.
🛠️ What you’ll do in this session:
- Learn how cams, cranks, gears & linkages make things move
- Build an automata creature, character, puppet or festive scene
- Use LittleBits electronics to add motion, lights & personality
- Experiment with cardboard engineering and mechanical design
- Show off your final build in a mini “motion showcase”
🎁 What you’ll bring home:
✅ Your completed automata build
✅ All parts + reusable LittleBits components (where included)
✅ A new love for engineering disguised as play
👦👧 Who is this for?
Ages 8–12, no prior building or coding experience required
