To develop an automaton…
From left to right, we are Polina, Jonathan, Daniel, William, and Steven. Nice to meet you.
Click on our pictures to learn more about each of us.
An automaton, dissecting the word, is a “self-operating machine.” Similar to a music box, our automata will play music and visually tell a story when a user turns a main crank.
Accordingly, the most important parts of our design include the Concept for the story we will tell as well as the Gear Mechanisms that will bring our story to life.
