OXFORD, OH (FOX19) - The fourth annual Oxford Kinetics Festival will be held Sunday, April 7th, 2013  from noon-4:00 p.m. at Miami University’s Millett Hall. “The Scramble” — part parade, part race, part obstacle course, and all fun — will be held 1-1:45 p.m. Children’s activities and demonstrations will be held throughout the festival, which is free and open to all.

Children can build a kinetic contraption of their own design to enter into the Scramble; create a toy at the ToyLab by Happen, Inc., with “toy scientists;” launch an air-powered rocket made from re-purposed soda bottles; and build a contraption with k’nex.

Watch a glass blowing demonstration by the Neusole Glassworks’ mobile hot shop; watch an iron pour; and watch the performance art of Know No Stranger – a group of artists who encourage creative unity.

Be inspired by an exhibition of sculpture, robots, devices and more, by regional and invited artists and students.
