Details & care
STEM MECHANICS: LEVERS & LINKAGES - Construction Set is a hands-on engineering kit designed to help children understand the fundamentals of mechanical systems through interactive building. Learn how Levers are used to increase a force for lifting heavy objects and how they can change the direction of motion. BUILD 16 MODELS: With 106 pieces, kids can construct up to 16 different models while exploring how levers and linkages work in real-world machines. Find out how you can create models with complex motion by connecting many levers together and learn how these Linkages can be applied to various machines. Build working models such as a seesaw, a movable weight scale, a wheelbarrow, a parking gate, a toy with moving figures, a pantograph and two types of linkages. 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! By building and experimenting with different models, they gain a practical understanding of how basic engineering systems function. The NON-MOTORIZED DESIGN supports focused, quiet play while encouraging exploration and creativity. As children assemble and rebuild models, they develop problem-solving skills, spatial awareness, and fine motor coordination in an engaging STEM learning environment. 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.
- 16-IN-1 MULTI-MODEL BUILDING EXPERIENCE: Build up to 16 different mechanical models focused on levers and linkages. Children are encouraged to explore open-ended builds that grow confidence and design thinking.
- 106 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 SIMPLE MACHINES: Teaches how levers and linkages control force and motion in mechanical systems. It helps children see how basic mechanisms are used in everyday machines and tools.
- 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.
