Engino for ages 8 and up. Engino SIMPLE MACHINES set is a combination of the basic 5 sets of “Discovering STEM” series and covers all Simple Machines mechanisms. These mechanisms offer a mechanical advantage and are crucial elements of many machines and devices. They are designed to multiply or reduce force, increase or decrease speed and convert one type of motion to another. Build 60 working models that cover the subjects of levers, the wedge, the wheel and axle, the screw, the inclined plane, the pulley, as well as the more advanced gears and linkages! You can find easy-to-follow building instructions for all models either online or in the booklets included. The booklets provide detailed explanations of the different scientific principles applied and incorporate innovative experimental activities for hands-on learning. Quiz sections for each chapter are also available to challenge your newly acquired knowledge! Conduct thorough experiments and discover – the three classes of levers and the use of linkages – how to gain mechanical advantage from wheel, axles and inclined planes mechanisms – how to use pulleys to change force and direction of motion – how to use cams and cranks to produce different types of motion – how to calculate gear ratio and how worm drives work. The Engino Building System was invented by Costas Sisamos, a former teacher and engineer for the purpose of helping students build technological models creatively and easily to experiment and learn about science and technology in a way that includes all the benefits of play. Research grants from local and E.U. sources helped transition the three year research project into an innovative product. Since then Engino has developed more snap-fit components such as gears, pulleys, motots, and solar panels. The major advantage of the Engino system is that it’s design flexibility enables children to build simple or complex models quickly using a small number of components.
SIMPLE MACHINES MECHANISMS STEM KIT INCLUDES 5 different STEM sets, all combined into one fantastic package.
BUILD 60 MODELS that cover the subjects of levers, the wedge, the wheel and axle, the screw, the inclined plane, the pulley, as well as the more advanced gears and linkages. Imagine the excitement of seeing their own creations come to life, all while learning about the laws of physics and engineering.
EASY TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS and it comes with 70 pages of theory and facts, accompanied by fun experiments to test newly acquired knowledge. Plus, a 16-page quiz section is included to test the children’s understanding.
FOR KIDS 9 and up, the STEM building toy also comes with a cutting-edge, interactive 3D app that lets children build in virtual reality. And it’s not just us who think this toy is amazing – it’s been chosen as one of the 21 best STEM toys and gadgets to get kids interested in tech.
WITH AWARD-WINNING components designed by Engino, complex scientific concepts are brought into clear focus for budding engineers and scientists. Make education fun with Engino, proudly made in Europe.
