Maker Faire Bay Area 2024
Makey's Automata Workshop with Cecilia Hillway
Home: Washington, United States
Making projects that combine art and technology, Cecilia hopes to inspire you by sharing her knowledge in this hands-on cardboard Automata Workshop using the Maker Faire robot as your muse. An automaton generally refers to a moving, mechanical device, usually constructed to look like a human, animal or even a robot! Automatons are built to give the illusion of acting as if by their own power, despite comprising only of mechanical systems. There is a materials fee for this workshop.

What Inspired You to Make This?
I've always loved making things, and illustration has always been my passion. However, when I discovered the magic of combining art and technology, I was hooked. Now, I create lots of projects using different ed-tech tools, teach classes, and create tutorials in the hopes of spreading the joy of making.
