Great Article!
I am an educator and mechanical engineer, from New York City, now living in the Middle East, training teachers in mathemeatica and science integration.
This article has the potential for middle and high school math and science projects. Also, history and can be integrated into a research aspect.
Or something else? For example, students colud try to make their own device; a great project in gear design.
The Antikythera Mechanism as a thematic design unit in maths, science, histroy and art; all could better be integrated and understood - Planetary gears, solar system and maths ratios can be employed as a dedicated applied learning of astronomical phenomena and complex mechanical "computer" which tracks the cycles of the Solar System.
