We will learn how to build stuff that moves! Using wire, sheetmetal, paper, wood, and a range of other media, we will examine and build mechanisms. We will contemplate the basic ingredients of mechanical forces and motion such as bearings, cams, cranks, gear ratios and more. All levels of experience are welcome, but students should be comfortable using hand tools and able to devote at least 8 hours a week outside of scheduled class time working on projects.
Arts, Design, and Media Independent Work Lab Fee: $60.00. Students are expected to devote at least eight hours a week outside of scheduled class time working on projects.
Permission is required for interchange registration during the add/drop period only.
