Details & care
INVENTOR: MECHANICS SERIES - SPACE SHUTTLE - Build, Play, Learn, Invent. The INVENTOR Mechanics range has been developed to inspire children to follow STEM careers and develop 21st century skills such as problem solving and critical thinking. The range is designed to strengthen understanding of real-world engineering principles through hands-on experimentation and iterative design. The MULTI-THEME approach motivates children to construct a model they can relate to, while the ability to build many different models from the same set enhances creativity and engineering design thinking. LEARN HOW MECHANICAL SYSTEMS WORK: Each build encourages learners to test ideas, make improvements, and explore how mechanical systems function in everyday technology. INVENTOR Mechanics includes a range of new, highly technical parts that help create fully functional models and learn about various technologies. 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. 3D MODELS APP: With the Engino kidCAD 3D viewer app you can experience the models in a whole new way. Rotate, zoom in and out. Explode and implode. Find and explore more models. 3D interactive instructions. Printed instructions included. THE INVENTOR MECHANICS series has a thematic approach with multi model capabilities, featuring an impressive main model. A new library of patent-pending components has been added to the ENGINO system which enhances both aesthetics and technical features. These parts include high-precession wheels, mechanisms and snap-fit curved surfaces.
- 5-IN-1 BUILDING EXPERIENCE: Build up to 5 different models including a detailed Space Shuttle design. Children are encouraged to explore open-ended builds that grow confidence and design thinking.
- 174 ADVANCED SNAP ASSEMBLY PIECES: Includes durable, technical components for complex engineering constructions. Easy to combine, take apart, and rebuild for varied hands-on builds and learning. Innovative snap fit system.
- ENGINEERING & SPACE-THEMED LEARNING: Introduces aerospace and mechanical concepts through hands-on model building. It also inspires curiosity about how real spacecraft and machines are designed and function.
- MULTI-MODEL DEVELOPMENT APPROACH: Supports creativity through repeated model rebuilding and redesigning. This kit helps build confidence as children experiment with structures and ideas. Assemble, deconstruct and build again!
- 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.
