SUMMARY:Summer Maker Days: The Art of the Automata
DESCRIPTION:11:00 AM -12:30 PM: Drop-in Maker Workshop: Make Your Own Automata Toy  \nCalling all youth inventors\, tinkerers\, makers\, and big thinkers! Join us as we explore simple mechanisms and the power of circular motion as you design and build your very own Automata—a whimsical mechanical toy you can take home!  Learn to use everyday materials in new\, unexpected ways in this hands-on tinkering and making activity led by a visiting maker and STEM educator Rachel Donegan.  This activity is designed for families with children ages 9+ and curious adults. \n  \n12:45 PM -1:15 PM: Special Exhibit Spotlight  \nThe American Precision Museum is filled with amazing machines of all types with gears\, shafts\, cams and other mechanisms designed to convert simple rotational motion into other motions.  During this short exhibit spotlight tour\, APM museum experts will explore a few of the museum’s complex and unique machines that function using some of the very same mechanisms highlighted in the maker workshop.  \n  \n1:30 PM -2:30 PM:  Visiting Maker Demonstration \nJoin APM’s Visiting Maker Rachel Donegan as she shares examples of her work and demonstrates her own unique maker approach including tips\, techniques\, and favorite tools for turning everyday cardboard into a variety of magical mechanisms – from Automata to containers to creative costumes\, and more!  \n  \nADMISSION: FREE for youth inventors 18 and under. $10.00 for adults. \n  \nVisiting Maker Bio: Rachel Donegan\, Maker & STEM Educator \nRachel has been creating STEM educational experiences for middle and high school students that span traditional and new technologies for over 20 years. Recently\, Rachel’s work has focused on working with digital tech and software and exploring the ways tools like laser cutters and 3D printers can change the way we learn and identify as makers.

SUMMARY:Inventors and Innovators
DESCRIPTION:Original patents\, drawings\, portraits\, machines\, and tools will be a part of this celebration of ingenuity\, primarily focused on those in the Machine Tool Hall of Fame. \nThe American Precision Museum is hosting a special exhibit in April\, celebrating “Inventors and Innovators\,” featuring members of the Machine Tool Hall of Fame. The exhibit is open Monday – Friday\, 10- 5; admission is half-price in April. \nThe exhibit explores patents\, famous industrial partnerships\, the development of industrial ecosystems\, and how colleagues from various companies often worked together. Archival materials from the museum’s collection include 19th century patent documents from the U.S. and Great Britain\, trade literature from numerous companies\, and more. \nThe Machine Tool Hall of Fame is an initiative of the American Precision Museum and the Association for Manufacturing Technology. The Hall of Fame includes 47 individuals and is available online at The Manufacturing Ledger\, a new portal that highlights the stories of the celebrated people behind the machines.  \nMany biographies are displayed in the exhibit\, including member influence and their company affiliations. The machines displayed in the exhibit hall linked with the Machine Tool Hall of Fame\, also are highlighted. \n“While reading the biographies\, you realize that some of these men were notable for their inventions\, some for their ingenious business practices\, and others for inspiring and catalyzing others\,” said Executive Director Steve Dalessio.

SUMMARY:“Patterns and Molds:” Temporary Exhibit at American Precision Museum
DESCRIPTION:This special selection of items is drawn from the Museum’s archives and remains on exhibit weekdays from 10 am to 5 pm through Monday\, February 14.   The exhibit includes video elements explaining molding processes\, live demonstrations of thermoforming\, and more.   Although many of the patterns resemble simple shapes\, some are more complex\, and all ultimately became parts of machines. During the winter\, when the museum is not heated\, admission is free (although donations are welcome). This special exhibit takes place in the heated section of the museum. \nExhibit links with Education Kit “Achieving Repeatability “ \nThe exhibit also ties in with the museum’s next education kit\, “Achieving Repeatability”.  This interdisciplinary kit for kids in 4th   through 6th  grade will be available to local teachers and informal educators free of charge in February. The kit includes lesson slides and all the physical materials a student would need to create a cookie cutter that tessellates\, build a catapult that’s both accurate and precise\, exchange the parts of a clicking ballpoint pen\, and more. The lessons tie in manufacturing\, history\, and STEM with art and the humanities.
