Storytelling and literacy activities can easily become maker projects with the use of simple supplies and an understanding of linkage mechanisms. After ten years as a classroom teacher, Rob began designing models made from cardboard, which became the subject of several popular books. In this workshop, you will get step-by-step instructions on how to create lever and linkages projects with your students and directions about how to use that as a stepping stone to students creating their own stories. You will come away with a clear understanding of how to create the mechanisms and see lots of examples to inspire you.
