The non-profit organization, YWCA of Central Massachusetts, hosts a preschool educational center for children ages two to five. The goal of the center is to better the futures of the children they instruct and prepare them for the world they live in. In particular, they work to educate children in science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics (STEAM) literacy. This project provided a piece of playground equipment to aid the YWCA in their ability to educate their students in STEAM concepts (in particular simple machines). The IQP team analyzed current methods and tools used in STEAM education, government standards, interviewed YWCA instructors, and observed students to develop a device consisting of several interactive simple machines that was installed in the YWCA playground.
