Details & care
STEM: SOLAR POWER - Converting Sunlight to Electricity Construction Set is a hands-on educational kit that introduces children to renewable energy through interactive building and experimentation. Climate change and global warming urge scientists to take action and save our planet by reducing carbon emissions. The sun can provide free energy for all of our needs, however, we need to convert it to a useful form. BUILD 16 MODELS: With 137 pieces, kids can construct up to 16 different models while learning how solar energy is converted into electricity. This set includes one 3V solar panel that powers an electrical motor, along with instructions for solar powered models such as a chopper car, a fan, a plane, a robot and a winch crane. 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 solar-powered models, they gain practical insight into clean energy technology and its real-world applications. The MOTORIZED FUNCTIONALITY adds dynamic movement to models when powered, making experiments more engaging and visually rewarding. Through hands-on construction and testing, children develop curiosity, problem-solving skills, and a foundational understanding of sustainable energy systems. 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 solar-energy-inspired models with interactive functionality. Children are encouraged to explore open-ended builds that grow confidence and design thinking.
- 137 SNAP ASSEMBLY PIECES: Durable components designed for renewable energy experimentation. Easy to combine, take apart, and rebuild for varied hands-on builds and learning. Innovative snap fit system.
- INTRODUCTION TO SOLAR ENERGY: Teaches how sunlight is converted into electricity and mechanical motion. It helps children understand how renewable energy can power devices through simple, observable systems.
- MOTORIZED FUNCTIONAL LEARNING: Demonstrates real-world application of solar-powered systems. It shows how energy is transferred into movement, helping children connect power sources with mechanical output.
- 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.
