Polydron Engineer Class Set – A Comprehensive Hands-On Engineering Toolkit
Introduce students to the fascinating world of engineering with the Polydron Engineer Class Set, a cutting-edge resource that combines creativity, practical problem-solving, and STEM education. With 250 pieces and a host of innovative components, this set allows students to build, explore, and understand the mechanics behind simple machines and engineering principles.
Perfect for Design and Technology (D&T) classrooms, the Polydron Engineer Class Set empowers students to bring their designs to life while learning about gears, cams, linkages, and more. It’s a must-have tool for sparking curiosity and inspiring the next generation of engineers and innovators.
Build 14 Recognisable Models
From a Cable Car and Crane to a working V8 Engine and Clock, the set includes step-by-step work cards to guide students through the construction of 14 unique models. Multiple models, such as fairground rides and engines, can be built simultaneously, encouraging collaboration and teamwork.
The set also enables students to invent their own creations using simple gear ratios (8, 16, and 24 teeth), fostering creativity and experimentation. The hands-on approach helps students gain a tangible understanding of mechanical concepts and their real-world applications.
