Tools required: tin snips and a hammer.
A battery can be made from a jar, lemon juice, and two electrodes.
Believe me, as an 8 year old, my skills were limited to using a hammer to mash my thumb with. :-)
Electromagnets substituted for magnets, and bearings were a dent in the sheet metal that the point of a nail sat in and turned. Simple and effective.
Once you showed this to a medieval craftsman, they could reproduce it and start improving it.

The version I built was far simpler, and used electromagnets instead of the magnets, but you can see the general idea.
I didn't design it, I don't know where the Den Mothers got the design from. But I found it fascinating, as you could see and feel how it worked.
I built several of them. One day, I got a little bolder and replaced the battery with an A/C cord. The motor buzzed loudly and burst into flames. I learned about alternating current that day :-)
You would be able to offer great advice about washing hands or the solar system generalisations. But actually create something to show people....even the simplest things would be beyond most of us.
