Discover, as family, how this experience inspires curious minds and sparks students’ scientific interest. Together we will:
Let’s turn learning into a memorable and fun experience!
The “Space Painter” experience involves assembling a robot that paints using principles of balance and motion. This robot is made up of a wooden base and a motor that, by spinning an unbalanced weight, rapidly shifts its centre of mass, causing the robot to move independently. This unexpected and creative movement of the robot enables the creation of abstract artworks as it draws patterns along its path.
This experience sparks curiosity and creativity by combining science with art. It allows children to learn important physics concepts in a practical and enjoyable context, encouraging them to explore the world around them with an inventive mindset. This reflects the mission of inspiring future inventors and innovators to think outside the box and apply their knowledge in innovative ways.
(1452–1519)
He was one of the greatest geniuses in history, known for his extraordinary versatility and contributions across various fields such as art, science, engineering, anatomy, and inventions. Born in Vinci, a village in Tuscany, Italy, Leonardo da Vinci embodied the ideal of the Renaissance man, mastering multiple disciplines and leaving behind an unparalleled legacy.
Works such as the Mona Lisa, The Last Supper, and Vitruvian Man are iconic representations of this genius, who also excelled in designing and constructing innovative machines. Leonardo da Vinci influenced generations of artists, scientists, and inventors. His combination of artistic creativity and scientific curiosity remains a symbol of innovation and brilliance.
This dialogue box uses artificial intelligence and is configured to respond exclusively to questions related to the project, its concepts and associated fields, as well as queries and curiosities about the history of each inventor.

Thank you for your understanding.
The Space painter experience also introduces children to the basic concepts of art:
Introduction to Abstract Art: This project serves as a gateway to understanding the fundamentals of abstract art and discovering that, beyond humans, robots can also create works of art.
Manual skills: During the construction, children practice manual skills, such as assemble a motor that enables a robot to paint, while developing an intuitive understanding of abstract art.
This project also introduces children to basic concepts of physics
The Space Painter project was created with three main objectives:
At the end of the sessions, in addition to building an Space Painter, the children will also gain a new appreciation for the world of physics and art, while celebrating their success with the creation of true works of art.
Together, we discover how physics and art can create magic!
Ask your inventor what excited them the most about the session or challenge them to create new works of art with their Space Painter. And turn this into a true family exhibition!
For the boldest ones, how about sharing the drawings created at home with us on social media?
