of moving toys and automata for inspiration, context and study Participants

artistic imaginations run free A crib sheet is available for those needing to
quickly get up to speed with the basics of cogs, cams and linkages. Fire the
Inventor designs mechanical interactives for exhibitions and learning, is an
exhibition consultant and supplies educational kits. STEAM not STEM In the
language of educators, Fire the Inventor is about adding a missing ‘A’ to STEM
subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering, ART and Mathematics – STEAM). Fire
the Inventor encourages a hands-on making, crafting, inventing, tinkering and
repairing culture, and giving ourselves the time and opportunity to play around
with a bunch of materials and (re)discover playful creativity.
