Stem Summer Camps in Bremerton Metro Area

Learn how automata (moving mechanical devices) work and how to design your own. This is a hands-on creative class where you'll learn about different types of mechanisms like cranks, cams, linkages, shafts, and more. You'll use a variety of mediums and practical elements to build several fun automata projects of increasing difficulty and complexity.

Use things like cardboard, paint, and paper to create critters (real or imagined) and then use coding, motors, sensors, and a variety of electronic components to give them life. You'll use robotics kits — micro:bit and Hummingbird Bit — and explore the different components, how to use them, and code them using a block-coding app called BirdBlox. Then you'll learn different cardboard building techniques and mechanisms that can be used for your creations. Families will be invited to enjoy sharing time during the last 20 minutes of the class on the final day to view and take photos and videos of student creations.
