Unschool Engineering

I watched a lot of problem solving today.

Our Lego Unschool Club met and the challenges ranged from misplaced elements to a young man curious how to build axle assemblies for his race car.

As our guests left, my sons started to experiment with their new Lego Stuntz push bikes.

First, they tried to tow the Knight Bus from Harry Potter. That didn’t work too well, but I notice the Stuntz bike spinning in wide circle. I suggested they attach it to a central fulcrum and see if they could get it to do a circle.

Westen went further and built a track. Now the rapid fire testing of chain type and length, fulcrum height and mechanics, and a number of other variables began.

It wasn’t long before they were fine tuning the setup and mugging for a video.
