A Victorian Fairy Tale Challenge Solved
Using the 6 Simple Machines
Explore a brief history of the Fairy Tale before delving into one of the Victorian era's most famous tales of fantasy and adventure. Once we’ve had our fill of the fantastic, we’ll settle into identifying one of the fairy tale’s main challenges and then design and build a contraption using the 6 Simple Machines to engineer a happy (or not so happy) ending using the power of STEM and a collection of recycling brought from home.
