Frequently Asked Questions

The kit supports 16 different working models, ranging from a seesaw and movable weight scale to a pantograph, parking gate, wheelbarrow, and two types of linkages. All models are built from the same set of Engino snap-fit parts, so children disassemble one build and start the next.
No batteries or separate tools are required. The Engino snap-fit building system clicks together by hand, and all models in this levers and linkages STEM kit are mechanically powered - children push, pull, or crank the finished models to see the physics in action.
Both options are available. The box includes a printed booklet with theory explanations, seven pages of experimental activities, a quiz section, and step-by-step instructions. Full 3D interactive instructions for all 16 models can also be accessed free via the Engino app on iOS and Android devices.
