- 1 min read
Welcome to Machines in Motion, where creativity quite literally gets moving.
This month, we invite you into a world of gears, levers, wheels, and wild inventions. You’ll explore everything from the satisfying rhythm of a conveyor belt to the intricate paths of a marble run, from the steady power of a steam engine to the playful chaos of a Rube Goldberg machine.
Each prompt is designed to help you see motion as art—how parts connect, how systems flow, and how even the simplest mechanism can tell a story. This month is your chance to build, imagine, and draw with momentum.
