Use stored energy to spin, launch, roll, or move a design.
Learners build
A spring-driven drawing machine that turns rotation into spirals, patterns, and optical effects.
Learners start by building a wind-up drawing platform, then test how color, marker placement, and surface position change the patterns it creates.
From there, they can redesign it for symmetry, color mixing, spiral effects, repeated tests, visual surprises, or a gallery of moving drawings.
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.
