The English scientist Neil A. Downie, has written three volumes of Saturday Science Projects. His designs are remarkably original and thoughtful. He explains the math and science of every experiment…On a level for advanced high school or college students. But our project designers, Alex Leffell, Mark Wesolowski and Tyler Hayslett have adapted (hacked) his ideas for you. Construct a motor experiment tool kit with two motors, a battery pack, a potentiometer (to control speed) that will test four Downie designs: a robot arm, a checker catapult, a vibrating climbing ring, a dancing brush. Then adapt the parts for your own experiments. 9am – 3pm
