Engino – Academy Of STEAM – Solar Helicopter

Engino – Academy Of STEAM – Solar Helicopter – The Engino Discovering STEM Solar Power: Converting Sunlight to Electricity is a multi-model educational kit designed for children ages 9 and up. While the kit allows you to build a solar-powered helicopter, it is not a standalone product. The set focuses on hands-on, play-based learning about renewable energy and includes materials for 15 other models. 

• Solar energy principles: The kit includes a 3V solar panel that powers a motor, demonstrating how sunlight is converted into usable electricity. Children can observe how the solar power output changes depending on the angle and surface area of the panel.
• STEM learning: An accompanying booklet provides detailed information on solar power theory, hands-on experiments, and quizzes to test knowledge. It also introduces other alternative green energies and includes a short history of renewable energy.
• 21st-century skills: As a STEM learning tool, the kit helps develop important skills like creative thinking, problem-solving, observation, and reasoning.
• Virtual learning: A free 3D interactive app is available for tablets and smartphones, allowing users to select a model, and then zoom, rotate, and visualize how the parts connect.
