STEM MECHANICS: LEVERS, LINKAGES & STRUCTURES - Construction Set is a hands-on engineering kit designed to teach children fundamental mechanical principles through interactive building. Learn how Levers are used to increase a force for lifting heavy objects and how you can create models with complex motion by connecting many levers together. BUILD 16 MODELS: With 106 pieces, kids can construct up to 16 different models while exploring how levers, linkages, and structural systems work in real-world mechanics. Discover all the types of forces acting on structures and find out ways to reduce their effects. Build working models such as a seesaw, a movable weight scale, a wheelbarrow, a parking gate, a toy with moving figures, a pantograph, a cube and a double deck bridge. 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. A Quiz section is also available to challenge your newly acquired knowledge! This set focuses on introducing the basics of simple machines and mechanical engineering in a practical, engaging way. The NON-MOTORIZED DESIGN encourages focused, quiet play while supporting open-ended experimentation. As kids assemble and rebuild models, they naturally develop problem-solving skills, spatial awareness, and fine motor coordination through hands-on STEM 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.
- 16-IN-1 MULTI-MODEL BUILDING EXPERIENCE: Build up to 16 mechanical models centered on levers, linkages, and structures, giving kids a hands-on way to explore motion and force while discovering how everyday machines operate.
- 106 SNAP ASSEMBLY PIECES: Includes 106 sturdy, precision-fit parts built for repeated assembly and disassembly, allowing young builders to experiment freely while creating functional models.
- INTRODUCTION TO SIMPLE MACHINES: Helps children understand key engineering concepts like force, motion, and mechanical advantage, showing how levers and connected systems can multiply effort and produce complex movements.
- OPEN-ENDED LEARNING SYSTEM: Encourages hands-on exploration and creative problem-solving as kids build, test, and modify models, helping them understand how mechanical systems behave through experimentation and discovery.
- STEM 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.
