Young Engineers STEM Kit

My 7 year old son and I love it , he said he really likes how he can make different shapes of toys. He is really proud of himself for building objects just like an engineer and all by himself with or without instructions. It can definitely help kid to get more creative and focused too.

So far we love this STEM toy. We are doing a different concept each day. Our 7 year old likes to build them and my engineer husband likes to teach him the different concepts of Newton Laws :)

I love this series for introducing early elementary kids to physics. We have this one and the bridge and structure kit. They all use similar pieces so eventually you can build a larger kit with a bunch of notebooks together and mix the concepts.

I really appreciate the lesson book this comes with too. Kids actually bothered reading it and followed along.

Bought this set for my 11 year old son. He loved it! I was surprised that he, who is not big on studying, dove into the learning portion of the instruction book before he even started building the projects. He LOVES to build things, but really enjoys building for a purpose, not just to make something cool to look at. This set allowed him to build some cool looking projects that DID something. He learned from the book, applied that new found knowledge to each project and had so much fun I don't think he thought about it as science/physics. His older sister watch him run some of the experiments and said that she was just now learning the things he was working on in her science class and that she learned more from watching his experiments than she did in class! Quality of the plastic parts is high. Only niggle was that one of the experiments (catapult) did not really display the physics involved as well as the others, but my son enjoyed that experiment nonetheless. If you have a kid who liked to build things and likes to "see what happens when I do this..." then they will love this kit!

I bought this as a Christmas present for my 7 1/2 year old son. So far, this building set has kept his interest, especially the catapult. He built the catapult mostly by himself. The directions seem to be fairly easy to understand. The pieces snap together easily and seem to be made of quality. I plan to buy another set for his birthday.
