Crushed fingers, broken legs, cuts and bruises … these were just some of the injuries suffered by 19th-century mill workers as they operated large, dangerous machines. Students will examine the Boott Cotton Mills’ looms and apply the engineering design process to identify safety problems and propose possible solutions. Using breakout groups and collaboration technology, students will design a safer loom by applying modern solutions to a historical problem.
Classroom, home, and hybrid options are available. The classroom version requires a computer and projector/smart-board. Home versions require each student to have their own computer or tablet. This program is designed for grades 3-5.
