An Orrery

It sounds like a speech impediment, but is much more fun.
My 11 yr old daughter was doing a science project for school, so decided to build an orrery as part of it.

Here is the finished product, it is a great educational tool and she really enjoyed studying the gearing as much as using the final product.

She timelapsed part of the construction as well.

All in all it was a great project to work on with her.
