Return to Lab_13

The junkbots project was carried as one of the activities at the celebration of two years of Lab_13 at Irchester Community Primary School.

Three groups spent around an hour developing the drawing junkbots (an example of what one is can be found in these image). The session basic revolves around two main activities:

- Showing that a motor can be made to vibrate and can they think of a way to use this and other materials around them (make sure there are pens/pencils around) to make a drinks can move.

- Next stage is can they modify their robot to make it draw.

Details and session plans can be found at: http://junkbots.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/junkbot-project-case-study-and-session.html
