Thames & Kosmos STEM Kit Metal Ball Obstacle Course 8 years+ plastic

The Thames & Kosmos STEM Metal Ball Obstacle Course kit includes everything you need to zig-zag, jump, leap, hop, and avoid obstacles in a unique technical adventure. On your marks, get set, go! It is a beginner-friendly kit that demonstrates physics in action, suitable for use independently or combined with expansion packs.

The set contains 63 pieces: 27 nano-adhesive pads, 12 flexible tracks, 3 bridges, 4 turns, 2 levers, 7 balls, a switch, and a funnel. A 16-page illustrated manual will guide you in setting up your first courses and teach you how each element works so you can witness physics in action.

The tracks attach to smooth surfaces using smart nano-adhesive pads that stick to smooth, vertical surfaces in the house, such as windows, mirrors, doors, walls, refrigerators, or cabinets. The pads are not adhesive-based and can be repositioned quickly and easily without leaving behind damage or sticky residue. With the open-ended design, you can position the pieces in infinite configurations on smooth surfaces.

The kit is educational: it develops engineering and problem-solving skills and exemplifies physics in action. The tracks are made from renewable raw materials. Additional stunts are available in the expansion packs with codes 550202, 550203, 550204, and 550205. The product is made of plastic and is produced in Germany for Thames & Kosmos, England.
