About This Activity
In this hands-on STEM program, students will explore the core principles of modern manufacturing by engaging in interactive lessons that highlight key production processes. Students will explore how compound gears and gear ratios influence speed and torque, then apply this knowledge to design and build their own working conveyor belt system. Through creativity, experimentation, and problem-solving, participants gain a deeper understanding of mechanical engineering and how real-world manufacturing systems move products efficiently.
