This column is for students to begin their research of ideas for Add-Ons. We are high school students in a level 3 CTAE Engineering course. We are not going to limit ourselves to sticking on flat objects that are real of models of real objects. That would be too simplistic for high school students.
Start with cardboard ideas such as this marble run -- LINK Then get fancy and watch a tutorial with groovy music on bending metal tracks and using a soldering iron...LINK Still not inspired? Peek at the Things to FInish on the Budget, then the Ideas for Addons...there's definitely something for a level 3 Engineering student. |

Things to finish on the budget
Ideas for Addons
What are these scientists famous for? How can it be modeled?(start here)
Marble Run Lifts, Elevators, Cams, etc.LINK 4 -Marble Machine Cams and Steps LINK 6 - Marble Lift looks like an "A" LINK 7 - Marble Run Geared elevator out of cardboard LINK 8 - Spiral Marble Elevator LINK 9 - How to on creating Marble Pumps out of wood - very detailed with pics. LINK 10 - Marble elevator with levers and pulleys - Lifts marbles a large distance. LINK 12 - Marble Pump -- sleek design LINK 13 - Perpetual Motion - 4 sticks - simple, elegant. Short build. LINK 16 - Chaotic Magnet Pendulum (Skip the end to see more versions of the Chaotic Magnet Pendelum.
