Bristlebot Artist Workshop

In this workshop, kids will have the opportunity to build their very own Bristlebot, a small and charming robot made from simple materials like toothbrush heads, small motors, and batteries. Guided by our expert 4-H facilitator, Mr. H, children will learn the basics of circuitry, motors, and the principles of robotics in a fun and accessible way. Once their Bristlebot comes to life, the artistic adventure begins! Participants will dip their bristlebot in paint and guide it to create “autonomous” colorful artwork. Registration is required for the Bristlebot Artist Workshop.
