Junkbots goes to Duston

The junkbots project went to Duston Eldean Primary School, Northampton on 3rd April 2019, as part of their STEAM Week.

Each group built a drawing bot from vibrating motors, pens, sometimes a Kinder Egg plastic case (I was asked who eat all the chocolate - I admitted it was me)...and lots of tape. Details on the whole process and how to do it go to Crumble Based Junk Eggbot .

Structure of the session


  • 5 minutes the whole group is together and volunteers come up, face the group and hold the motor - when it is turned on the motor vibrates and often gets a reaction.
  • 10-20 minutes build in smaller groups the drawing bot and get it scribbling.
  • Remaining time put the crumble controller between the battery and the motor. Details on how to do this go to Crumble Based Junk Eggbot .
