Build a sculpture using the available materials with a moving and/or interactive component. Additional information:

• Your sculpture must have a MOVING and/or an INTERACTIVE element.
• Consider the VISUAL component of your sculpture. What will the viewer SEE to draw them in?
• You DO NOT have to use every Little Bit in your kit. Use only the ones you need.
• You may borrow bits from another group with their approval ONLY.
• You may check out a SPECIAL Little Bit from Ms. B. The list is on the board.
• Use the materials on the table and on the supply shelves to construct your sculpture.
• If you need something you don’t see, ask Ms.B.
• Take CARE of the Little Bits!
