Interactive Activities

Hybrid Autonomous Manufacturing Moving from Evolution to Revolution (HAMMER) is a National Science Foundation sponsored engineering research center that seeks to develop new approaches to manufacturing. We will teach participants about manufacturing processes through a series of hands-on activities involving Play-Doh. At room temperature, model materials like plasticine and Play-Doh flow similarly to how heated metals flow when being formed, making it an optimal medium to use when teaching about metal forming. This activity brings together materials engineering and hands-on fun, making it suitable for participants of all ages who want to learn more about metals manufacturing.
