Tinker Crate Drawbot Introduction

This Tinker Crate Drawbot was our third Tinker Crate delivery. Our first month was the Tinker Crate Flashlight and the second was the Tinker Crate Biomechanical Hand.

Tinker Crate is a part of the Kiwi Crate Family Brands, which provides educational subscription boxes for children of all ages. Tinker Crate is for children ages 9+. We do these projects with my almost 9-year old Goddaughter Ashley.  She was very excited when we opened this box because she is really loving these projects and she loves to draw!

We had to troubleshoot the motor a bit, but Ashley figured it out!

The batteries were in wrong!

She is in awe of her creation.  Great job Ashley!

Ashley turned the Drawbot art into her own art.  She is a little Leonardo da Vinci!
