DESCRIPTION: Lets make something move from A to B via a conveyor belt. Will you create a race track for your cars, or maybe take your dog out for a walk, or even see some angy or happy birds fly across the sky. Think up a scenario you want to create and learn how to use this twisting technique to create your own moving machine. Join this workshop for some engineering, art and storytelling fun!
