About this item

With hundreds of building pieces and more than 20 models and experiments, The Big Engineering Makerspace is a comprehensive and ambitious STEM experience. In five chapters, you can 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 conversion, center of gravity, balance, pneumatics, 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
  • Finally, in the optical devices chapter, build models of a camera stabilizer, tripod, selfie stick and smartphone microscope
  • In addition to the models described in the instruction manual, you can design and build your own models
  • The building possibilities in this modular engineering system are virtually limitless
  • A 128-page manual guides your model building and experiments with step-by-step illustrated instructions
