Mechanisms Of The Human Body

Raghad Muhyeddin

This studio focuses on understanding how the human body performs everyday movements through simple mechanical models. We will explore actions like blinking, swallowing, breathing, and reflexes, and recreate them using basic, hands-on materials.


  • Learn how the body performs natural movements

  • Understand the role of muscles, joints, and tendons

  • Translate biological actions into simple mechanical systems

  • Appreciate the complexity of the human body’s design

    Tools & Materials:

    • Cardboard, wooden sticks, foam, wire

    • Strings, rubber bands, springs, pulleys

    • Hinges, levers, and simple crafting tools
