Martin Jitter Bugs

After a week break at Martin due to snowy weather we continue our new partnership and bring these teens Jitter Bugs. Jitter Bugs simple motors connected to a single AA batterey with a glue stick propeller. The Jitter Bugs have a robo art quality in that the simplicity of the feet aid in its jittering abilities. These legs are paper clips stuck into the Styrofoam bodies. Feathers, googlie eyes, and pipe cleaners a great for decorating these curious creatures.
The kids at martin loved making these and by the end of out time at the club had over a dozen little bugs running around the floor. This is a great activity to capture the attention and curiosity of our new prospective Design IT members.
