Mechanical Engineering — Machines & Vehicles STEM Kit (Ages 8+)
An introductory mechanical engineering kit in which students build 20 hands-on models and conduct 22 supplemental experiments to explore the science of machines, vehicles, and mechanical systems. A durable, reusable building system can be combined and reconfigured into functional models including a tightrope walker, elevator, crane, windmill, and all-wheel drive ATV. An 80-page full-color manual guides each build with step-by-step illustrated instructions and thorough explanations of the science behind each experiment.
Concepts covered: Forces, gravity, weight, simple machines, storing and converting energy, momentum, gears, and real-world mechanical engineering applications.
Models include: Tightrope walker, elevator, crane, windmill, all-wheel drive ATV, and more.
