Gigo Toys STEM Kit Build water-powered mechanisms 165 pieces, 8 years+, plastic

The STEM Hydro-Powered Mechanisms kit from Gigo Toys is an educational set that allows for the construction of two different systems powered by air and water: water jet-powered cars and hydro-pneumatic propulsion engines. The hydro-pneumatic system uses an autonomous air and water turbine system as an engine, providing children with a practical understanding of how energy is transformed.

Water jet-powered cars are a fun outdoor activity, while the autonomous hydro-pneumatic engine models can be built and tested both indoors and outdoors. Children can compete with friends to see whose model goes the furthest, turning experiments into competitive games that stimulate scientific curiosity.

The set includes two distinct systems. The first system features 7 models showcasing the hydro-pneumatic powered system, ideal for both indoors and outdoors because the water is circulated and contained within the system. The second system features 8 models that demonstrate a water jet-powered system, ideal for outdoors because the water is sprayed externally. In total, there are 15 models that can be built from the 165 included pieces.

The kit includes special parts such as water tanks, a safety pump, a nozzle, and an air-water power unit. A manual with step-by-step illustrated instructions guides the construction of the models and the experiments. The pieces in this kit are compatible with pieces from other Gigo Toys construction sets, and the product is made of plastic. The product is manufactured in Taiwan by Genius Toy and weighs 1.3 kg.
