In this Workshop, Makers will manipulate gears, observe how they interlock, learn about torque and how it is used to turn gears, and arrange the gears on their board to make an int eractive display. They will explore how simple machines like the wheel and axle in the gear mechanism illustrate leverage. Creators will see how the difference in size changes the way the gear train works, either generating more force, or more speed. They will apply math concepts to what they have observed with ratios. And finally, Creators will examine how these concepts apply to real life, as they identify gears and simple or complex machines in their environments.
