Animatronics

In this team event, students design and build an animatronic device that performs a specific task or tells a story using movement and sound. They create a display and portfolio to explain the design and engineering process. Finalists demonstrate their device and present it to a panel of judges. The project combines mechanical engineering, electronics, and programming. If you enjoy robotics, creative storytelling, or building moving machines, you’ll love this event. It’s perfect for hands-on learners with artistic or technical interests.
