Exploratorium After Dark | Pier 15

Are the primary colors really red, yellow, and blue? How can you get yellow from mixing red and green together? Bring your most colorful questions to this vivid presentation.

You will also get the chance to make your own mechanical sculptures—known as automata—by tinkering with cardboard, craft foam, and other familiar materials.

 You’ll use simple mechanisms to make objects move up and down, turn around, or jump back and forth. Design a scene that you imagine, then build a simple machine to make it work.

This activity takes about 45 minutes to complete.
