The Way Things Work, released for Windows 3.1 in the early 1990s, is an interactive educational program based on David Macaulay’s beloved book. Through animations, puzzles, and detailed illustrations, it teaches users how everyday machines and technologies function, from levers and pulleys to engines and gears. With its charming woolly mammoths and engaging explanations, The Way Things Work became a classic edutainment title, blending humor, interactivity, and learning for curious minds of all ages.
