Gears and Mechanical Engineering, Intro #1
Join us for a brand new hands-on workshop all about gears and the concept of Mechanical Engineering with Samay, a student instructor at New England Sci-Tech. This workshop is best for 4th to 8th grade students (or older novices). Two sessions are available with limited slots in each, so sign up soon.
This series of two 90-minute hands-on learning sessions introduces and reinforces fundamental mechanical concepts. A primary focus is on application of these concepts on your Battlin'Bots to improve your bot. Concepts of gear teeth, gear ratios, and gear trains are introduced and reinforced with fun experiments and demonstrations. By the end of the workshop, a typical student should be able to apply these concepts to improve the performance of their Battlin'Bot or a typical RC car.
The experiential nature of the curriculum requires limiting class size to 10 students; students should expect to work in pairs for some activities.
