Learners build
A wiggling drawing machine that turns vibration, balance, and marker placement into unpredictable marks.
Learners start by building a motorized base that vibrates across the page, then adjust legs, markers, and weight to change how it moves and draws.
From there, they can redesign it to make loops, jitters, spirals, races, collaborative drawings, or a bot with its own personality.
Test
They try it, notice what happens, and compare the result with their goal.
Redesign
They make changes, add their own ideas, and improve the build through iteration.
Learners explore
Use batteries, wires, and motors to power moving creations.
Explore how unbalanced parts can shake, wiggle, and create motion.
Test, change, and improve a design through multiple tries.
Ready to run with learners
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.
