Learning Resources STEM Explorers Machine Makers Building Set

Bring simple machines to life with the STEM Explorers Machine Makers building set from Learning Resources. Designed for curious young engineers, this hands-on kit lets children create twisting, turning machines while discovering how gears, pulleys, belts and connectors work together.

With 60 colourful pieces, children can build a range of moving models, including cranes, satellite dishes, space rovers and other imaginative inventions. The interlocking components encourage experimentation as children explore cause and effect, force, motion and mechanical advantage through practical play.

The included activity cards provide guided challenges to help young builders get started, while still leaving plenty of room for creative designs and problem-solving. Children can follow the examples, test how their machines move and then adapt their creations to see what happens. The set is also compatible with other Gears! Gears! Gears! products, offering even more construction possibilities.
