What children explore

Mechanics through building

Each lesson uses a physical model to explore forces, movement, energy and the behaviour of mechanical systems.

Big ideas made visible

Children encounter concepts such as torque, leverage, load distribution, mechanical advantage and transmissions through the models they build.

Science has a story

Lessons also introduce scientists and inventors such as Archimedes and Leonardo da Vinci, connecting the build to the history behind the ideas.
