Sixth graders participate in MIT workshop

On Tuesday, sixth graders took a field trip to MIT, where they participated in a workshop called Automata. Students used maker tools to create kinetic sculptures using mechanical motion. Led by MIT staff, the workshop integrated engineering, art and play for the Tenacre students, who collaborated to bring their mechanisms to life. After the workshop, students took a walking tour of parts of the MIT campus to observe the Stata Center, an iconic building designed by the famous architect Frank Gehry, and the Rogers buildings.
