With hundreds of building pieces and more than 20 models and experiments The Big Engineering Makerspace is a comprehensive and ambitious STEM experience. In five chapters you can experimentally explore different areas of physics and engineering design by building functional models and conducting tests with them. Explore marine vehicles submersibles buoyancy wind power rotation gears energy conversion center of gravity balance pneumatics hydraulics statics optics and much more. In the water and beach chapter build models of a jet boat submarine catamaran and sail car. In the land chapter engineer models of a dragster trike automobile brake automobile suspension and tower crane. In the air chapter construct models of a helicopter glider windmill and falling leaf. In the engineering in society chapter assemble models of a forklift spinning top hydraulic arm scissor lift and distance measuring tool. Finally in the optical devices chapter build models of a camera stabilizer tripod selfie stick and smartphone microscope. In addition to the models described in the instruction manual you can design and build your own models. The building possibilities in this modular engineering system are virtually limitless. A 136page manual guides your model building and experiments with stepbystep illustrated instructions.
