Explore images and motion that trick your eyes and brain.
Learners build
A motorized optical illusion that blends two drawings into one surprising image as it spins.
Learners start by building a small motorized spinner, then design paired images that appear to merge through motion.
From there, they can test timing, alignment, color, contrast, and new image combinations to create their own visual illusions.
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.
