Have you ever wondered what makes an airplane fly or a car engine turn?
InventorLabs invites you to enter the world of three great inventors who gave wings -- and wheels -- to all mankind. Meet the Wright brothers, and help them build their revolutionary flying machine. Visit the turn-of-the-century workshop of Gottlieb Daimler, and explore his ground-breaking, 1901 Mercedes automobile. Then tour George Stephenson's cottage, where you'll reinvent the world's first practical locomotive. Science springs to life in a fascinating, hands-on celebration of man in motion.
Explore their amazing workshops!
You'll be transported to another world to wander through each workroom, to open drawers, examine tools and explore real drawings, patents and notebooks. Meet the extraordinary men who invented the future. Probe the innermost workings of their remarkable vehicles. Then test your wits by conducting dozens of experiments each with many unique outcomes.
Master the art of scientific inquiry! Like the great inventors, you'll learn from your failures as much as your accomplishments. A User Workbook allows you to record your progress as you master the art of scientific observation, experimentation and analysis. You'll build modern-day skills as you solve the great engineering puzzles of yesteryear.
