Girl Guides Badge Days

Forget motors and batteries… this grabber runs purely on simple mechanics! Using levers and linkages, it transforms simple hand movements into powerful grabbing action, just like a real robotic arm. Guides will have a blast building their own mechanical grabbers and racing to see whose design can pick up and move objects the quickest!

The Creators of Tomorrow badge celebrates innovation, creativity, and hands-on problem-solving. In the Grab Lab activity, students design and build their own mechanical grabbers, exploring how engineering concepts can be used to create practical tools. By testing and improving their designs, they gain insight into how ideas become real-world solutions!
