Engino- STEM Toys, Mechanics: Wheels, Axles & Inclined Planes, Construction Toys for Kids 9+, Fun Educational Toys, Gifts for Boys & Girls (14 Model Options)

Description

With Engino’ s mechanics: wheels, axles and inclined planes set and learn how
wheels and axles use friction to move objects easily and how big tires compare
to small tires. Find out how an inclined plane can be used for lifting heavy
objects and how another form of inclined plane, the wedge, is used in every
day applications. Build 14 working models such as a launching platform, a door
with knob, a well, an airport staircase, an experimental ramp and a splitting
wedge. You can find easy-to-follow building instructions for all models either
online or in the booklet included. The booklet provides detailed explanations
of the different scientific principles applied and incorporates innovative
experimental activities for hands-on learning. Features: a quiz section is
also available to challenge your newly acquired knowledge! conduct thorough
experiments and discover – how to gain mechanical advantage with large wheels
– how the wheel and axle mechanism works as a lever – the relation between
force and speed – the elements of an inclined plane and how these affect force
and distance. – 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. Engino for ages 8 and up.
