HomeWorkshop: Gears and Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical Engineering, Introduction

Join us for a brand new hands-on workshop all about 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).

This series of two 90-minute hands-on learning sessions introduces and reinforces fundamental mechanical concepts.  A primary focus is on applying the concepts of linear actuators and mechanical movement.  These concepts are introduced and reinforced with fun experiments and demonstrations. By the end students will be able to understand and create a mechanical-engineering based invention. 


Class size is limited to 8 students. Students should expect to work in pairs for some activities.  


The workshops are intended to be experienced in sequence, but it is OK to attend either separately. 

Workshop 1 (Saturday, March 29, 11:00-12:30 pm)

Workshop 2 (Saturday, April 12, 11:00-12:30 pm)

Samay invents mechanical art and machines in Legos and will teach you using Lego gears. However, the concepts you will learn can be applied to any kind of gears and machines.
