Crafting & Coding Animatronics (ages 13–18)

Woollahra Municipal Council

Code and craft moving creations in this hands-on animatronics workshop.

Woollahra Library at Double Bay

Using VEX IQ systems and cardboard, participants will begin by coding existing animatronics to move, then design and build their own moving feature, such as limbs, eyes, eyelids, ears or a mouth, and program it to respond to sensory input.As the workshop uses VEX IQ motors and sensors, participants will not be able to take home the electronic components of their creations.All experience levels are welcome. Bookings are essential as places are limited.About the facilitatorScience Educator Parker McLean has developed, hosted and managed more than twenty creative robotics programs in Canada and Australia, including Robotics Club, Make a Tech Pet and Robotics Design Studio.
