Running out of things to do in isolation? Why not build a robot!

The ANU College of Engineering and Computer Science has been busy thinking of ways that we can virtually connect with the community during this time.  

We put our heads together, and created a 3D paper robot that you can build yourself at home! 

This is a great activity to entertain kids and adults alike, and would make a great toy or desk mascot while working from home. 

Please feel free to share this design with anyone who might enjoy it. 

Instructions 

This kit is available to to download via PDF for free. 

Print on one or two A4 pieces of paper. Standard printer paper will do - we suggest 100-120gsm. 

Simply cut out the pieces, and use glue to attach the tabs. 

You can also colour in or customise your robot before folding.

Share your creation and connect with us on social media @anucecs.
