Build moving parts that lift, push, pull, or open using levers.
Learners build
A moving linkage system that transforms one push or pull into coordinated mechanical motion.
Learners start by connecting bars, shapes, and fasteners into a linked mechanism, then test how each connection changes the path of motion.
From there, they can redesign it as a puppet, animal, waving character, grabber, hidden reveal, or practical moving invention.
Educator Resources
Student-facing slides introduce the concepts, guide the activity, and help learners reflect on what changed. Educator materials support setup, pacing, discussion, and extensions so this can work in classrooms, libraries, homeschool groups, clubs, or makerspaces.
