MARVELLOUS MACHINES WORKSHOP WITH W5 - How did the Egyptians build the pyramids? Who was Archimedes? In this fun, fast-paced building workshop, kids will be asked what they think qualifies as a machine, and through the examples of Archimedes? six simple machines, how they help us day to day. This will include simple activities with rubber chickens and levers! Participants will then work in groups to design and build their very own machine out of K?NEX, with the goal of using their creation to transport or propel an object across the workspace. The day will culminate in a race to the finish!
