Maker Workshop: Advanced Bristle Bots

Make a brush come to life by creating a Bristle Bot, a tiny shaking robot that can dance across a table. Attach some markers to it, and it can draw! Tinkerers will learn how to complete a simple circuit to turn the Bristle Bot’s motor on and off. This is an advanced version of a Junior Maker Workshop that we have hosted previously, but no prior experience is required.

What is Tinkering?

Tinkering is learning through making. Participants in this workshop will be encouraged to make mistakes, experiment with new materials and create a Bristle Bot without set instructions. What will your Bristle Bot look like?

Please note:

  • This workshop is for participants ages 10 and up. Children under the age of 10 will NOT be able to participate. Children age 10 to 13 must be accompanied by one adult, who will assist them with the activity. Accompanying adults pay general admission only.
  • All materials will be supplied by Science World. The cost of the workshop covers the cost of the materials.
  • Photos of you or your child may be taken, and may be used in promotional materials. If you do not want yourself or your child to be photographed, please let staff know at the beginning of the workshop.

Space is limited, register today!
