Physics Gyroscope

In the challenge description, it said to design and 3-D print a project that will help kids learn in a classroom, so that's what I did. A gyroscope is a device consisting of a wheel or disk mounted so that it can spin rapidly about an axis that is itself free to alter in direction. Gyroscopes are commonly used for navigation systems, auto-pilot in planes, and stabilizers. In this gyroscope, there is a 3-D printed wheel with a diameter of five inches, and a thickness of three-quarters of an inch thick. In the center of the wheel, an axle is inserted and glued to the wheel. The motor, which is directly under the wheel, is pressed into the hole in the axle. In the box, the motor is fastened in by an extrusion. The motor fits snugly so that it will not shift and move. In the inner battery compartment, the battery box is stored (I used sticky Velcro to fasten the battery box to the side to prevent movement). On the side of the box, the on/off switch is snapped into the hole. The wires from
