The Machinist’s Shop
This is our shop. Isn’t it marvelous?! We have a vast array of motors, sensors, nuts and bolts, wood, textiles, gears and lights – many curious objects that will serve as the building blocks for your very own toys.
Toys can be made out of anything, really. As an apprentice, you will experiment with materials. Discover their properties. Imagine the possibilities that each material affords.
You will play with toys. You will study them. You will tear them apart and put them back together again.
At times, you will forge toys out of metal. Other times, you will forge them of wood. Or paper. Or pixels. You may create creepy-cute monsters that giggle or rockets powered by water. You may create a robot using scrap metal and other recycled material. One windy day, you may fancy creating a kite with a camera mount that will take photographs of your city.
