Mechanical Cartoon with LINKKI : Bring cartoons to life with mechanical movement

Käsityökoulu Robotti introduces a workshop mechanical cartoon workshop March 4th in Espoo held by Eun Young Park.

This workshop introduces the basic idea of designing movement with linkage mechanism. Using LINKKI, a linkage-based building blocks designed by Eun Young herself, participants will be guided to design simple mechanism and to build a story on top of it, finally to make a ”Mechanical cartoon”. This might be a good chance to dive into hands-on motion design involving mechanics, storytelling and drawing. There is no age limit but kids under 6 years old are advised to accompany their parents. Maximum number of participants(an individual or a family) are 8. This workshop will be carried out in English.
