| dc.description.abstract | Inspired by the desire to unite aspects of art and engineering into a comprehensive whole, I have designed and manufactured a kinetic sculpture that demonstrates gyroscopic precession. The aim of this project is to explore the interplay between two seemingly separate fields, art and engineering, and the effect of their union on perception and learning. | en_US |
