Idea 3

Visual content is a cross-cutting, universal language, like music. We are able to understand images from millions of years ago, even from other cultures.

• It matches with your audience...
• And makes them part of the message.

What You’ll Need

Recycled Materials:

• 2–3 empty soda cans (washed and dried)
• Bottle caps or buttons (for eyes or joints)
• Old wires, straws, or skewers (for arms/legs/antennae)
• Small boxes, pen springs, or screws (for decoration)

Tools & Supplies:

• Hot glue gun or strong glue
• Scissors or tin snips (adult supervision!)
• Screwdriver or sharp nail (to poke holes)
• Paint or markers (optional, for style)
• Safety gloves (for handling sharp can edges)

Sketch a simple idea: Will it have a can for a head? Legs or wheels? Antennae? Think WALL-E, R2-D2, or a soda-powered Bender from Futurama.

Design Your Robot

Use 1 can as the body. Use a 2nd can for the head (cut off the top or bottom). If using a 3rd can, cut it into arms or legs. Be careful with sharp edges—use tape or gloves if needed.

Prepare Your Cans

Assemble the Body

• Use hot glue to attach the head can to the body can.
• Punch holes in the sides for arms (or glue if easier).
• Insert wire, straws, or cut can strips for arms and legs.
• Add bottle caps or buttons for eyes, screws or pen parts for antennae.

Decorate

• Use paint or markers to give your robot a face, chest panel, buttons, or a name tag.
• You can also glue on random bits like springs, washers, or small circuit parts for extra flair.

Making a Simple Motorized Version

(Optional)

If you want it to move, you’ll need:

• A small DC motor (from old toys or electronics)
• AA battery + holder
• Switch (optional)
• Wires & tape

Basic Steps:

• Attach the motor to the bottom or side of the can (with glue or tape).
• Connect wires from the motor to the battery.
• Create an eccentric wheel using a bottle cap with an off-center hole. As it spins, it makes the robot wobble!
• Attach the bottle cap to the motor shaft.
• Tape everything inside or behind the robot.
• It won’t be remote-controlled, but it’ll buzz around like a happy soda bot!
