Twist it & tilt it, but the wheel won’t budge! 🌀
Our weekend builders at Village of North Riverside Parks & Recreation put the laws of physics to the test by constructing motorized gyroscopes. They loved seeing how the rapidly spinning wheel generates angular momentum to maintain its position, resisting any movement even when the base of the model is turned. ⚖️

No ballet is complete without a show-stopping grand finale. 🩰🎭
Our spring session at Near North Montessori School wrapped up with a flourish! Our inventors mastered a clever bit of mechanical wizardry with their motorized Ballerina models. By engineering a sliding transmission, they could instantly reverse their dancers' spin with a simple nudge.

We are taking this time to disconnect, reflect on the true meaning of the day, and spend time with friends and family.
Wishing all our Chicago families a safe and happy Memorial Day! 🇺🇸 Today we take a break from the bricks to honor and remember those who have served. We are incredibly proud to be a part of this community and grateful for your continued support. Enjoy the holiday weekend!
Versatility is the key to great engineering. 🏗️
Engineering isn't just about building a single tool; it's about designing systems that can adapt. By using an interchangeable output gear, our Forklift model can switch its setup to handle completely different mechanical tasks on the fly. It lets our advanced inventors see firsthand how industrial machinery adapts to the job at hand.

Designing the ultimate ride. 🏍️🔥
Our Near North Montessori School class had a blast building and upgrading Motorbikes this week. Along the way, they had a lesson on how crown gears transfer power at a 90-degree angle, but the real highlight was seeing their custom creations zoom across the classroom floor! 💨
