The Big Engineering Makerspace Kit

Grades 2-12.

With hundres of building pieces and 22 models and experiments, The Big Engineering Makerspace kit is a comprehensive and ambitious STEAM experience. In 5 chapters, students experimentally explore different areas of physics and engineering design by building functional models and conducting tests with them. Explore marine vehicles, submersibles, buoyancy, wind power, rotation, gears, energy converison, center of gravity, balance, pnuematics, hydraulics, statics, optics, and much more.

• In the water and beach chapter, build models of a jet boat, submarine, catamaran, and sail car
• In the land chapter, engineer models of a dragster, trike, automobile brake, automobile suspension, and tower crane
• In the air chapter, construct models of a helicopter, glider, windmill, and falling leaf
• In the engineering in society chapter, assemble models of a forklift, spinning top, hydraulic arm, scissor lift, and distance measuring tool
• In the optical devices chapter, build models of a camera stabilizer, tripod, selfie stick, and smartphone microscope

The 128-page manual guides model building and experiments with step-by-step illustrated instructions. But don't stop there. Encourage students to move beyond the instruction manual and design and build their own models. The building possibilities in this modular engineering system are virtually limitless.
