Mechanical Toys Software


This picture shows how the software enables you to strip down the parts of the toy and see the cognitive workings and mechanical process inside the object. This helps with being able to visualize the mechanical structure and movement of the device.

Reflection 1

We've begun work on a new unit for next term.
The breif involves creating a toy with a mechanisim involved that allows the toy to move or function.
To assist us in the creation and ideation of our toy we were shown a software that allows us to visualize examples of toys that have a mechanism attached that enables the still toy to move.
The mechanism allows the toy to perform a range of motions, from simple to very complex.


This is an image of one of the mechanical toys. It shows an example of one of the toys we may be able to make this year.
