FUTURE ENGINEERS - Kids will learn to apply simple machines concepts in assembling this simulated factory model. Explore performance as you experiment with friction and tension using a pulley system. Includes 226 parts and 98-page illustrated manual for designing the perfect project.
DIY HAND-ASSEMBLED - The wood components are laser-cut for a precision fit. Their no-tool assembly allows kids to focus in on the actual process. All parts are connected using different sized rubber bands and plastic snap clips - no glue is needed. The step-by-step illustrated instructions are easy to follow
EDUCATIONAL & INTERACTIVE - This project helps children develop analytical and cognitive skills as well as spatial awareness while encouraging creativity. Plus, it s FUN! Kids will enjoy exploring concepts in pulley systems, friction, tension as well as weight and gravity. Kids can also express themselves by colorfully decorating their completed model with paint or markers.
BEST BUILT TOGETHER - The Smartivity line of STEM model kits are specifically designed as entry level construction projects for 8-11-year olds. We recommend building them along with your child.. Each kit is a working model that demonstrates STEM concepts. The end result: Quality time well spent together.
GREAT FOR S.T.E.M. LEARNING - Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics; rather than teach the four methods as separate and individual subjects, STEM consolidates them into a interconnected learning standard based on real-world applications. Each kit is a working model that demonstrates STEM concepts for ages 8 and up.
