Explore how fundamental simple machines make movement easier with the Engino Discovering STEM: Mechanics – Wheels, Axles & Inclined Planes kit! This hands-on set is designed for young engineers aged nine and up, focusing on the power of wheels, axles, and ramps. Using the versatile Engino building system, children can construct a variety of working models, such as vehicles with different wheel sizes, wheelbarrows, cranes with moving platforms, and experimental ramp setups.

The Engino Wheels Axles Kit allows for practical investigation into concepts like reducing friction, gaining mechanical advantage, and how inclined planes lessen the force needed to lift objects. A comprehensive booklet provides clear building instructions for numerous models and explains the relevant scientific principles in detail. The Engino Discovering STEM: Mechanics – Wheels, Axles & Inclined Planes kit develops problem-solving skills, mechanical intuition, and an understanding of essential physics concepts. Roll into discovery with this informative Engino Wheels Axles Kit.

Frequently Asked Questions

The kit supports 14 different working models, ranging from a motorbike and road tractor to an airport staircase, a well, a launching platform, and a splitting wedge. Each model is designed to demonstrate a specific mechanical principle, so children build a new concept every time they rebuild the set.
Both options are included. The box contains a 46-page full-colour booklet covering theory, experimental activities, a quiz section, and step-by-step building instructions for the models. All 14 models are also available as interactive 3D instructions through Engino's free kidCAD viewer app, downloadable for iOS, Android, and Windows devices.
All parts use the standard Engino multi-directional connector system, which is compatible across the Discovering STEM range and other Engino construction sets. Parts from earlier or additional Engino kits can be combined to extend building possibilities beyond the 14 included models.
