Use batteries, wires, and motors to power moving creations.
Learners build
A vibrating drawing machine that walks across paper and makes its own abstract art.
Learners start with a guided build. Three markers become legs, a battery and motor sit on a foam body, and an off-center weight shakes the machine when the circuit closes.
From there, they move the weight, legs, and parts to change the drawing, and partners can join two Drawbots into one larger machine. It connects art and design, English language arts, and science and engineering.
Educator Resources
Student-facing slides introduce the concepts, guide the activity, and help learners reflect on what changed. Educator materials support setup, pacing, discussion, and extensions so this can work in classrooms, libraries, homeschool groups, clubs, or makerspaces.
