Karza was built from scratch with only a basic understanding of electronics but eventually evolved into a complex animatronic lightshow.
Students learn how she was built, how she works, and how each component looks, feels, and operates. Easily tailored to keep elementary-aged kids engaged, learning, and having fun.
All Ages Welcome: Format tailored to audience

5-minute demonstration of Karza’s Fire Dragon Lightshow.
25-minute removal of her components for hands-on inspection.
5-minute Tips & Tricks for creating a Fire Dragon.
25-minute open discussion, question and answers.
40 years of programming experience with degrees in Computer Science and Technical Education.
The first Web Programming instructor at GM and taught HTML at Macomb Community College.
Patented inventor (Invention #5,819,23) who spent the last twenty years hand-crafting Karza in his basement for his ten grandchildren.
As an instructor and father of five, I know that being invited into a school is not a trivial matter. If you would prefer, I can bring Karza for a private demonstration and overview of this seminar before any commitment is made regarding sharing her with your students.
