Build a Portable Drumming Machine – Engineering Workshop for Ages 5–7

Build a Portable Drumming Machine – Engineering Workshop for Ages 5–7

Step into the fascinating world of Leonardo da Vinci, the celebrated artist, scientist, and inventor who imagined many remarkable machines. One of his creative designs was the Portable Drumming Machine, built to produce music and entertain guests at celebrations.

In this hands-on workshop designed especially for children ages 5–7, young engineers will build their own moving drumming machine inspired by Leonardo da Vinci’s invention. As its wheels roll, a special mechanism transforms their circular motion into the up-and-down movement of drumsticks—almost like magic!

During the workshop, children will:

• Discover Leonardo da Vinci and his remarkable inventions

• Build and operate a portable drumming machine
