Meccano Machines Use teamwork & tools to create compound machines Enquire Now 📚 Library Suitable Meccano Contraptions Creative machine building and mechanical engineering! Imagine 30 kids frantically working on build projects across your floor! Using real hand tools and Meccano, children create complex machines while developing spatial and fine motor skills. Mechanical Concepts: ⚙️ Levers & Pulleys: Lifting with mechanical advantage. ⚙️ Gear Trains: Transferring motion and torque. ⚙️ Inclined Planes: Slopes and forces. ⚙️ Wheel & Axle: The foundation of rotation. ⚙️ Problem Solving: Teamwork and following instructions. ✨ Reliability You Can Trust Coordinating engineering workshops requires a partner with proven experience and high-quality equipment. Since 2004, our team led by a Churchill Fellow has reached over 4 million students. We provide all the tools and Meccano kits to turn your space into a bustling workshop.

Are you a Vacation Care Centre? Every holiday period, Fizzics Education present holiday programs workshops for local council libraries, vacation care centres, OOSHC and at our own venues. These workshops are designed to cater for a wide range of ages, even the adults join in! Book early to avoid disappointment. A school holiday program treat!To check out our vacation care center science programs... Read More Get out your tools to complete the challenge! Lots of fun things for kids to do! The children really enjoy learning to use tools on Meccano; often they have never held a spanner before. Teamwork is the key here as the task can be broken up into smaller components by each child and then put together later. Generally we have the kids all construct the same moving machine as it represents a fun challenge as a race to the finish. There is an opportunity of course for kids to create their own machine or follow the directions for a different apparatus if they wish however. Best run in a large open space. Extend them! We’ve had many vacation care centers use this workshop as part of a larger engineering day. In this case it’s worth considering having run an egg drop challenge, Lego robotics or similar to produce an awesome activity day the kids will love!
