Our PAS visitors participated in a SparkTruck-inspired Vibrobots workshop in which they brainstormed lists of land and water animals, and then combined them into mythical creatures (e.g. lion+dolphin). To bring their creations to life, they made simple circuits from pager motors and coin cell batteries, and then decorated them with craft sticks, pipe cleaners, pom poms, and googly eyes.
It was a light-hearted tinkering activity that relied on creativity, spontaneity, and perseverance (motors don't always do what you expect!).
