- Intro to Engineering welcomes young children to the field of engineering with 21 experiments and building projects in five sections
- Engaging hands-on activities show how engineers apply their scientific and technical knowledge to design machines and devices
- Start by learning some engineering basics with experiments on levers, forces, and pulleys and building simple devices using these basic components
- Move on to explore engineering on land by building vehicles with wheels, such as a race car and wind-up car
- Next, investigate engineering with air (and in the air) by building a helicopter, pinwheel, parachute, glider, balloon rocket, and air-powered carousel
- Then, build a diving bell, sailboat, and paddle boat to experiment with engineering in water
- Finally, find engineering in your classroom or home with experiments modeling the telephone and television
- 21 experiments including: simple devices using levers forces and pulleys, vehicles, helicopter, pinwheel, parachute, glider, balloon rocket, air-powered carousel, diving bell, sailboat, paddle boat, and more
- Kit contains: 70 pieces, and 48 page color instruction book
