Wacky Robotic Hands

On the last day of this week's Wacky Art Camp, we made these amazing Robotic Hands! 

This was such a great S.T.E.A.M. MakerSpace project! The kids were so excited about using ordinary materials to make something really AWESOME!




Materials:
Corrugated cardboard, tempera paint, small zip ties, straws, string, small fun foam shapes, and hot glue.

Tools:
Pencil, paint brush, shears, craft knife, old credit card, hot glue gun.


You can find the step-by-step instructions for making this robotic hand on Youtube right here.

This one needed a cardboard brace attached to it after it was painted, which could easily be transformed into a robotic battery pack by its creator and a few colorful Sharpies.
