📖 Your Story

Welcome to the Village Khela Mela (Game Fair)! In villages across India, children have made toys using simple machines for generations. Today, you join master toy-maker Kallu Chacha to understand how levers work in catapults and robotic arms made from everyday materials.

What You'll Learn

Identify the fulcrum, effort, and load in a lever system
Explain how fulcrum position affects mechanical advantage
Distinguish between single-lever and multi-lever mechanisms
Apply lever principles to design functional toys

How to Play

1Use the slider to adjust the fulcrum position on the lever

2Apply different amounts of force and observe the results

3Compare single-lever (catapult) and multi-lever (robotic arm) mechanisms

4Complete each mission to unlock new challenges
