Invent a wind-up flying machine that explores the transfer of potential to kinetic energy.

Explore balanced and unbalanced forces in a motorized wiggling machine!

Connect lines into shapes and forms to build a tower as tall as you! Explore lines, shapes and forms to build and rebuild structures by yourself or with partners!

Engineer a creature that can move its giant mouth with air pressure!

Two projects in one! Move a magnetic dot through a reconfigurable maze; build ramps and pathways to make a ball roll to its goal. Then connect your maze to a partner’s and extend the play!

Use pneumatic pistons, cylinders and a set of rebuildable components to make a claw that grabs!

Draw colorful spirals with a spring-driven machine! Includes everything you need to quickly create hypnotic drawings - wind-up mechanism, foam holder and platform, marker and adhesive notes.

Build moving creatures and mechanisms with systems of sturdy cardboard levers and pivots. Create animals that dance, fish that swim and other creatures that come to life!

Explore symmetry and balance with a reconfigurable spinning top! Use included markers to optically “blend” secondary colors from patterns and color blocks.

Combine repositionable foam components, a spinning motorized weight and markers to create a whole new take on a vibrating drawing machine! Disassemble and build differently, or combine with a friend!

Build an electric car that can zip and zoom! Assemble axles and bearings on an adjustable platform, using unique connectors and lightweight materials. Then, race!

Tell an illustrated story with a screen-based machine! Assemble a folding frame, illustrate a story and roll out the sequence or narrative on a paper scroll “screen.”

Assemble a system of levers and fulcra, and watch it all come to life! Create a compound machine creature that moves and can grab with its mouth!
