No prior knowledge needed, just bring your enthusiasm!

Activities

• English Story Creation: Write a short story about your animatronic character. Include details about its appearance, personality, and purpose.
• Math Measurement Challenge: Use the ruler to measure the dimensions of your animatronic character. Calculate the area and perimeter of different parts of the character.
• Design Drawing: Sketch a detailed design of your animatronic character, labeling the measurements you calculated. Add any additional features or movements you want to include.

Talking Points

• "Let's start by brainstorming ideas for your animatronic character. What kind of story do you want to tell through its movements?"
• "Now, let's apply some math skills to ensure our character fits the desired dimensions. How can we use measurements to bring our creation to life?"
• "As you draw the design, think about how each part will contribute to the character's overall appearance and functionality. What unique features can you add to make it stand out?"
