Project Overview
This project teaches children about cam mechanisms. They experiment with different shaped cams before designing, making and evaluating a child’s automaton toy.
It is built upon our four-stage primary focused pedagogy – Engage, Develop, Innovate, Express – to get your children curious about the project ahead, develop and then use new skills and knowledge, before finally allowing them to express their thoughts, ideas and reflections on what they have learnt.
*This project is part of the Cornerstones Design and Technology Curriculum and not sold separately.
