Free event
Learn the mechanics of how to pull a whitewater kayak across the ice this winter!

We will model how mechanical advantage can be leveraged to pull heavy loads. We will use a pulley system attached to a whitewater kayaks to show how one person can pull heavy kayaks across the ice. There will be a series of whitewater kayaks attached to a pulley system that one person can pull the other end of to slide the kayaks across the ice.
