Physics teacher Scott Swaley of
High Tech High developed a project using automatons - mechanical toys -- to teach principles such as torque, mechanical advantage and angular velocity to his 12th grade students, who designed and constructed the automatons.
The
automaton project video was made for the
McGraw-Hill STEMIE awards, for which Swaley received honorable mention. An HD version is available
here, and more background on the project is available
here.
