Linkage Lab

A linkage created in the Linkage Lab workshop

Grades 3-5 & 6-8

Overview

Students are introduced to engineering as they explore the role of force and motion in designing mechanisms that move in specific ways. Using two dimensional mechanical linkages they create mechanisms with different inputs and outputs, then use what they have learned to design their own.
