SUMMARY:Maker Motions and Simple Machines - STEAM Futures Workshop Series
DESCRIPTION:About This Workshop\nIn this workshop\, youth design and build small mechanical creations—such as cardboard automata—using simple machines like cams\, cranks\, levers\, and linkages. Participants explore how motion transfers through connected parts and how small changes can affect movement\, balance\, and stability. \nThrough hands-on prototyping and iteration\, youth test ideas\, make adjustments\, and refine their builds. This session emphasizes experimentation and problem-solving\, helping participants understand how movement\, structure\, and design work together in mechanical systems. \n\nWhat You’ll Learn & Do\nParticipants will: \n\nBuild simple machines using cams\, cranks\, levers\, and linkages\nExplore how motion transfers through connected components\nPrototype\, test\, and refine mechanical designs\nUse cardboard\, foam core\, and basic hardware to create moving forms\n\nWhy this matters:Understanding simple machines and motion builds a foundation for engineering thinking and mechanical problem-solving. These concepts support later STEAM Futures workshops involving motors\, moving parts\, interactive builds\, and media documentation of motion and process. \n\nSTEAM Futures Media Moment\nYouth will take part in the Mini Media Crew by capturing short video clips of their moving builds. This may include close-ups of mechanisms in action or simple time-lapse footage showing how projects evolve through testing and iteration. With permission\, this footage may be used in the final STEAM Futures Community Showcase. \n\nWho Can Attend\n\nPrimary audience: Youth ages 8–18\nYouth ages 8–12 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian who remains on-site for the duration of the workshop.\nAdults may participate as full creators if space is available. Youth participants are always prioritized.\n\n\nCost\nYouth participants attend free of charge thanks to support from the Liberty Bank Foundation and Eversource.Adults are welcome to attend at no cost and are invited to contribute\, if they are able\, to help make future programs accessible to the whole community. \n\nLocation\nProject Imo – Idea Forge Creators Space \n\nAbout the STEAM Futures Workshop Series\nSTEAM Futures is a hands-on workshop series hosted at Project Imo’s Idea Forge Creators Space. Each session blends art\, design\, science\, technology\, and engineering through accessible\, project-based learning. Youth explore tools and techniques across multiple disciplines while building confidence as creative makers and problem-solvers. Participants may attend individual workshops or engage throughout the full series. \n\nMade Possible By\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNEXT Workshop in the Series – Light Up Characters Circuits and Creativity \nOpen Maker Space Hours – Thursday January 22nd from 2:30pm to 6:30pm
