automata

As part of the ME101 curriculum at Stanford, students are divided into teams to create an "automata," or a simple machine with moving parts, to depict a theme or story. For this project, I was on a team with three other students.

 

The entire automata was fabricated from cut paper and card stock.

​

Given the way in which an automata functions, it is impossible to work on the components in isolation. Although I primarily focused on designing and crafting the visual elements, each piece to the automata was ultimately touched in some way by every member of the team.
