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
