We give an example of automated geometry reasoning for an imaginary classroom project by using the free software package GeoGebra Discovery. The project is motivated by a publicly available toy, a rocking camel, installed at a medical center in Upper Austria. We explain how the process of a false conjecture, experimenting, modeling, a precise mathematical setup, and then a proof by automated reasoning could help extend mathematical knowledge at secondary school level and above.
