Creating Automata with VEX GO and IQ
In this Live Session, Aimee shares ways to create automata (moving mechanical devices or toys) using different linkages with VEX GO and IQ pieces along with craft materials. She explains how linkages are collections of parts with pivot points or other moving parts joined together to change or help movement. Linkages and automata are explained in context as Aimee shares four different examples including a ladybug with moving wings, a talking box puppet, a swimming whale, and monkeys jumping on the bed. She also offers ideas for extensions and ways to facilitate students using linkages to create automata into your learning environment.
