​​They’re Alive! In this workshop, we will use the power of sunlight to make your creature shake and roam around. We will learn a bit about how photovoltaics (solar panels) work and then build bugs including connecting the motor, selecting legs and creature design. We then get to see the bugs run amok in light—intrigue your pets and impress your friends!

Your mission is to get this little robot bird to the disco! Using your skills and our masking tape, you’ll program a way to make sure Finch gets to the party and does a little dance. Good luck Makers!​

Get ready to team up at Maker Day! Join us for a unique workshop where you and a buddy will work together to build your very own cardboard guitar using Makey Makey—a super cool invention kit that turns everyday objects into music touchpads when connected to a computer.
