Securing the future of Avian

May 6, 2017July 26, 2018 Slater Harrison

Dr. Tim Swait is a UK aerospace and composite materials engineer as well as a passionate hang glider pilot. At events he uses sciencetoymaker.org walkalong gliders to interest young people because both walkalong and hang gliders levitate the same way. Now Tim wants to secure the future of the UK’s only hang gliding manufacturer. Check out his amazing video and check out walkalong gliders at sciencetoymaker.org.

Ramp Walkers by Doc Mécano

April 1, 2017July 26, 2018 Slater Harrison

Doc Mécano, AKA Philippe Moisan from Québec City, is a master of other-worldly ramp walkers and other mechanical toys. He works to interest kids in science and tools through programs in schools and libraries. I thought ramp walkers would be very hard, but he says simple ones can be made from common bendable materials.  Check out his other videos, too.

Making Helicopters, No Batteries!

February 2, 2017July 26, 2018 Slater Harrison

I have been working on windup helicopter designs for a year: one that you make
the propeller out of a 2-liter bottle that goes much higher than tall trees (above);
and an easier kind for young kids. Find out more here.

The Passing of an Extraordinary Science Educator

February 1, 2017July 26, 2018 Slater Harrison

I learned so much from the Science Online videos and I'm sad that the force behind them--Wayne Campbell--has passed. My favorites are the historical invention ones such as Faraday's first electric motor and Bell's photophone. Wayne did not just talk about them; he showed us how to make them! All of his videos are treasures.
