Teaching artist Jay Mankita is offering two half-day workshops.
Jay guides and inspires participants to construct delightfully complicated contraptions that accomplish simple tasks. Jay supplies dominos, popsicle sticks, rubber bands, string, ping pong balls, pulleys, buckets, tracks, ramps, lego cars, etc…, as well as Jay’s pre-constructed catapults, mini-zip lines, screwbolt time-spirals, ball-drops, trajectory bouncers, lever-action direction changers, and yardstick marble runs, for kids to study and play with, with plenty of opportunities for making, and learning from, their own mistakes.
