Did someone ever tell you that you shouldn’t bother trying to do something?  That it would be too hard?  That is the challenge that our Director of Projects-Based Learning heard when she decided to have her class discover the ancient mysteries of the Antikythera Mechanism by reconstructing this early computer with 1,600 LEGO Technic pieces + 11o gears +227 pages of instructions + 56 tiny hands + 392 engineering hours!

Here are a few resources if you’d like to take the challenge in your classroom as well!
