A place to try.
A reason to gather.

Small experiments make good conversation starters. Try a self-guided challenge now, or help shape a future builder session.

TRY THESE TODAY

Three questions for a little arm.

SELF-GUIDED · NO REGISTRATION
01 / REACH

Can it reach and settle?

Choose “Reach the star” in the lab. Predict whether the arm will settle, then try changing only its motor strength. Compare the final distance and speed.

Try this in the lab
02 / GRAVITY

What happens without motors?

Choose “Let gravity pull.” Watch the tip move, pause the experiment, and look at the calculated energy. Explain the difference between a target and an observed path.

03 / MASS

Does a heavier arm change the result?

Choose “A heavier arm.” Keep your other settings fixed and compare two runs. Save the observations so another builder can inspect your experiment.

HELP SHAPE WHAT COMES NEXT

Community, one useful session at a time.

PROPOSED FORMAT

Build & compare sessions

Bring a reproducible build or experiment. Compare assumptions, inspect a failure, and leave with a small next step.

PROPOSED FORMAT

Simulation challenges

Share a model, an acceptance criterion, and your observations. Future challenges could compare different approaches without implying hardware readiness.
