Growing up in a digital world of high-technology machines, children may not be aware of the fundamental milestones from which great ideas flourished.
Let’s bring them back to the basics to learn about simple devices that make daily work easier to accomplish!
In "Gear Up, Lever Up!", children will be introduced to simple machines like the lever, wheel and axle during the workshop, which will culminate in the creation of a 3D functional playground or a Rube Goldberg style chain-reaction!
Parents will be invited to view the creations of the children at the end of the workshop.
