Abstract:
The Animatronics Workshop is an extracurricular activity where kids build complete robotic shows. Designed for 11-14 year-olds, the program emphasizes the interplay of technical and artistic skills. Activities include a mix of character development, script writing, design and construction of robotic mechanisms, voice performance, audio editing, set design and construction, and motion programming.
Acknowledgements:
Obviously, this would not have happened without the kids and parents who helped make this program a success. We would also like to thank the Hopkinton Parent Teacher Association for sponsoring this program.
