Details & care
STEM MECHANICS: CAMS & CRANKS - Construction Set is a hands-on educational kit designed to help children understand mechanical motion through interactive building and experimentation. Learn how you can transmit power using cams and cranks and how they can be used to convert reciprocal to linear motion. Discover how these mechanisms are crucial elements of many machines even though they are not considered as “Simple Machines”. BUILD 8 MODELS: With 83 pieces, kids can construct up to 8 different models while exploring how cams and cranks convert motion in simple machines. Build working models of cams & cranks such as a fishing crane, an oil pump, a moving figure, a moving bridge, a sewing machine and a flying eagle. EASY INSTRUCTIONS: You can find easy-to-follow building instructions for all models either online or in the booklet included. DETAILED BOOKLET & QUIZ SECTION: The booklet provides detailed explanations of the different scientific principles applied and incorporates innovative experimental activities for hands-on learning. A Quiz section is also available to challenge your newly acquired knowledge! Through building and testing various models, children gain a practical understanding of how cams and cranks are used in real-world devices and machines. The NON-MOTORIZED DESIGN encourages focused, quiet play while supporting curiosity and experimentation. As children assemble and rebuild models, they naturally develop problem-solving skills, spatial awareness, and fine motor coordination through engaging STEM-based learning. PATENTED CONNECTING SYSTEM: Creative snap fit. Easy assembly and construction. EXTRACTION TOOL: For easy disassembly of small parts. Option 1: Squeeze the tool to disassemble small parts. Option 2: Push into the hole to pop-out the locked part.
- MULTI-MODEL BUILDING EXPERIENCE: Build up to 8 different mechanical models focused on cams and cranks. Children are encouraged to explore open-ended builds that grow confidence and design thinking.
- 83 SNAP ASSEMBLY PIECES: Durable components designed for repeated hands-on engineering experiments. Easy to combine, take apart, and rebuild for varied hands-on builds and learning. Innovative snap fit system.
- INTRODUCTION TO CAM & CRANK MECHANISMS: Teaches how rotational motion is converted into mechanical movement. It helps children understand how circular motion can create different types of movement.
- EXPERIMENTAL STEM LEARNING APPROACH: Encourages learning through building, testing, and observation. This hands-on method promotes deeper understanding by allowing children to explore cause and effect through play.
- DEVELOPMENTAL BENEFITS THROUGH PLAY: Encourages learning through play, improving fine motor skills and spatial awareness. Promotes STEM education by combining fun with science, technology, engineering, and math.
