Variable Pulley System

My team and I took part in the STEM @ Home case as part of Ryerson Design League's first ever designathon. The challenge was to design a kit that aimed to create a more interactive at-home learning of a STEM topic(s) that is covered in the Ontario High School Curriculum. My team and I decided to innovate the traditional cable pulley system, which is utilized in many physics concepts, by creating multiple variations to it that can be used to understand and solve many problems. In under 36 hours, my team and I researched, designed, rendered, and presented our idea to the judges. With all three of us being first-time participants in a designathon, we were proud to place second in a very close run!
