MAYA THE MACHINIST EXPLORER
Embedded Files
Maya teaches kids how math + machines come together to build the world.
Machinists turn ideas into real metal parts using precise machines. Maya helps students explore how math, measurement, tools, and technology work together to create the things we use every day—from cars and airplanes to medical devices and robotics.
What Machinists Do
Measure and Plan
Measure and Plan
Machinists study blueprints, measurements, and angles to prepare for machining.
Shape Metal
Shape Metal
They use precision machines + tools to cut, drill, and form metal parts.
Check Accuracy
Check Accuracy
Machinists inspect parts to make sure they fit and function exactly as designed.
Tools Machinists Use
Machines & Tools
Machines & Tools
