Hands-on Activities
Frankenstein200 goes beyond the screen, using exciting hands-on maker activities to prompt discussions and reflection about responsible science — all inspired by themes raised in Mary Shelley’s novel Frankenstein. See the activities and their learning objectives:-
Automata
- Make an automaton, a moving mechanical device that imitates the movement of a human, animal, or other living thing!
-
Battery Stack
- Learn how to create a voltaic pile, the first kind of battery.
-
Dough Creature
- Make a creature out of conductive dough and use it to create an electrical circuit.
-
Frankentoy
- Make a unique creature by mixing and matching different parts of toys. What did you create? Something amazing? Something monstrous?
-
Monster Mask
- Learn how people augment their bodies with technology by creating a light-up mask.
-
Scribble Bot
- Make a toy bot with a surprising ability: it scribbles on a sheet of paper. But who is the artist, you or your creature?
-
Spark of Life
- Create a battery from two kinds of metal and your own body!
