Learners build
A set of first builds where young makers explore motion, structure, and visual effects through hands-on construction.
Learners start by building simple machines, spinning designs, and sturdy straw structures, then test how shape, balance, connection, and motion change what happens.
From there, they can redesign their builds with new patterns, taller structures, moving parts, stories, or challenges that grow across multiple sessions.
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.
