Discover, as family, how this experience inspires curious minds and sparks students’ scientific interest. Together we will:
Let’s turn learning into a memorable and fun experience!
In the Lift-O-Fun project, young inventors will explore concepts like counterweight!
The Lift-O-Fun experience is a practical and fun activity where students will create a Lift for gadget enthusiasts and engine lovers!! With a rotating axis, they will
make a lift work. It’s an up-and-down ride of emotions!
1811-1861
Was an american industrialist and founder of the Otis Elevator Company. In 1853, he invented a safety device that prevents elevators from falling if the hoisting cable fails. On March 23, 1857, he installed the first safety elevator for passenger service in the store of E.V. Haughwout & Co. in New York City.

Thank you for your understanding.
Counterweight: In the realm of lifts, counterweights play a crucial role as silent stabilizers.
Picture them as efficient partners maintaining balance, attached on the opposite end of your lift
ride. These heavyweights ensure a smooth ascent and descent, minimizing any wobbles. So, the
next time you step into a lift, appreciate the real hero – the trusty counterweight – quietly
ensuring a steady and safe journey.
Motors: In lifts, motors serve as the essential engines, converting electricity into mechanical
power to facilitate smooth vertical movement. They power the pulley system or traction
mechanism, which controls the lift’s ascent and descent. Whether it’s a traditional lift or a
modern gearless system, the motor plays a central role in making your vertical travels safe and
efficient.
The Lift-O-Fun project was created with three main objectives:
At the end of the session, in addition to building a Lift , the young inventors will also gain a new appreciation for the world of physics
Together, we will lift the Imagination
Ask your young inventor what excited them most about the session, or challenge them to use the Lift-O-Fun at home with the family!
For the boldest ones, why not share your experience with us, so we can share it on our social media?
