Development of an Educational Kit Using CAD Software for Simple Machine Learning

Abstract

Traditional simple machine topic is frequently theoretical and does not provide enough hands-on practise. Students may as a result fail to comprehend the fundamentals of simple machines and their applications. This research presents an innovative educational kit for simple machine learning. Students can utilize this kit to understand the fundamental concepts behind simple machines like levers, gears, and pulleys. This study investigates the creation of a simple machine kit using CAD software as a teaching tool for fundamental mechanics. A survey study is employed as part of this technique in order to ascertain audience needs and expectations. Beginning with idea generation and followed by rigorous evaluation, the process of developing the kit focuses on aligning pedagogical viability, marketability, and profitability. The selected concept is then transformed into a detailed technical drawing specifying dimensions, components, and assembly instructions, ensuring coherence between educational goals and machine learning integration. Iterative prototyping and testing further refine the kit's design, ensuring seamless interaction between machine learning elements and LEGO-based components. This approach culminates in an innovative educational kit that effectively imparts foundational machine learning principles through an engaging platform. The simple machine kit made through this research can then be utilized as an educational tool in primary, secondary, or higher education environments to facilitate students' grasp of basic mechanics. Students learning product design may find this novel approach both enjoyable and useful in their studies.
