Engino Discovering STEM: Simple Machines

Get a kit that teaches kids engineering concepts while they play! The Engino Discovering STEM: Simple Machines Kit occupies kids' hands and minds for hours at a time. Praised for its educational and enjoyment value, this interactive kit is an unforgettable intro to physical science and engineering.

Like all Engino stem kits, the Simple Machines kit makes complex concepts accessible for kids. They learn and apply real-world mechanical engineering principles as they build 60 working models. A few of the models that kids can create with this science kit include a:

• Construction Crane
• Scissor Lift
• Catapult
• Helicopter
• Vise
• Windmill
• and many more!

This 5-in-1 building kit combines the Engino Discovering STEM series into one complete set. Students will discover and build operational models for all simple machine mechanisms:

• levers & linkages
• wheels, axles & inclined planes
• pulley drives
• cams & cranks
• gears & worm drives.

You get five multi-page instruction booklets, one for each topic. All together, the manuals provide a complete course with:

• 71 pages of step-by-step assembly instructions
• 70 pages of theory and amazing facts
• 25 pages of experimental activities
• and 16 pages of quizzes.

From the manufacturer: The 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! One model can be built at a time.
