Cereal Box Mechanical Cards with Shawn Sheehy (Online)

Schedule: Nov 17, 2020:  6:00pm - 8:00pm (ET) ; 
5:00pm - 7:00pm (CT); 4:00pm - 6:00pm (MT); 3:00pm - 5:00pm (PT) 

Create this fun and engaging set of four movable, mechanical cards, each featuring a traditional mechanism made entirely from cereal box chipboard. YOU will provide the image that the mechanism will move, using whatever materials you have on hand. You'll build a simple wheel, a simple pull tab, a self-guided slide, and a wheel/pull tab combination. All you'll need—aside from the cereal boxes—is scrap paper, glue, some simple tools, and your imagination! All levels welcome.
