An automaton is a mechanical device that generally performs a predetermined action. This hands-on workshop introduces you to how an automaton-making activity can be integrated into your classrooms. This workshop is based on the presenter's experience of running an automaton unit as a design project for Grade 8 students.
The most rewarding part of this session is a hands-on activity where, in small groups, participants will make their automaton using cardboard, cardboard tape, and bamboo sticks. The presenter will provide all the materials.
