Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct a simple game to test their hand-eye coordination and steadiness of hand.

Micro Automata
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build small animated toys that move.

Marshmallow Catapult
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore physics by building a catapult that launches marshmallows with household objects.

Woodpecker
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct a traditional handicraft toy that illustrates a motion commonly associated with violins and earthquakes.

Cranking Bird
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a mini crank machine to make a bird "fly." This engineering activity introduces learners to automata, rotational motion, cranks and cams.

Bouncing Yo-Yo
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build unique yo-yos, which spin round and round without moving up and down.
