Discover the Power of Engineering! Jumpstart your study of mechanical physics with this interactive STEM kit! Designed for young engineers aged 8+, this set explores the six classic simple machines—wheels and axles, levers, pulleys, inclined planes, screws, and wedges—plus gears.

Through 26 hands-on model-building exercises, kids gain a deep understanding of how simple machines make complex tasks easier. The kit includes a spring scale to measure forces, helping learners see how machines change the direction and magnitude of effort.

With a durable, modular construction system, models can be assembled, disassembled, and reconfigured for endless experimentation. The 32-page full-colour manual provides step-by-step guidance and real-world examples, showing how simple machines are used in everyday life—from playground seesaws to flagpoles!
