DIY wooden educational STEM kit “Paddle Steamer”. A child’s first introduction to ship engineering: once assembled, the paddle steamer uses its paddle wheels to push water backward and move forward. This kit helps children learn the basics of engineering, mechanics, and electricity in the simplest and most engaging way.Features:This is a construction kit, toy, and educational tool all in one. Through the joy of shipbuilding, it introduces children to historical water transport technology. It is more than just a model – it is also an invitation to maritime adventures. Children can create travel scenarios, explore new horizons, and immerse themselves in the world of electric boats.During assembly, children develop fine motor skills and engineering thinking, while the interactive learning process encourages creativity, problem-solving, and curiosity about how things work.Made from high-quality, non-toxic wood. The wooden parts are smooth and durable, while the stable structure is suitable for play and educational activities.The assembled boat can be painted, decorated, and customized to create a unique appearance.Easy assembly: simple and clear instructions allow children to assemble the toy with minimal adult supervision, making the kit suitable for independent work or activities together with parents.STEM (Science + Technology + Engineering + Mathematics) is an educational approach that integrates science, technology, engineering, and mathematics into a unified learning model to prepare the younger generation for the rapidly developing world of technology.This is an excellent gift choice, as well as a useful kit for schools and educational institutions where simple, reliable, and clearly functioning teaching models are needed.Working principle:The model has an electric motor (powered by batteries) that transfers rotational motion to the boat’s paddles. As the paddle wheels spin, their blades push directly against the water and force it backward (in the opposite direction of travel), causing the steamboat to move forward.Electrical circuit building: by connecting the battery holder and motor, the child learns what a closed electrical circuit is.Mechanical transmission: the motor turns an axle through gears, on which the paddle wheels are mounted.Water propulsion: the rotating paddles push water backward, which according to the Third Law of Isaac Newton (for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction) pushes the boat forward.Educational value: electrical circuits, mechanical energy transfer through gears, hydrodynamics principles, Newton’s Third Law.Purpose: learning at home, in the classroom, and for project-based activities.Technical specifications:Material: high-quality non-toxic laser-cut wood; metal; plastic.Power supply: 2 x AA 1.5V batteries (not included).Dimensions: 188 x 122 x 63 mm.Box dimensions: 261 x 165 x 55 mm.Weight: 98 g.Kit includes:Wooden model parts.Motor.Battery holder (BATTERIES SOLD SEPARATELY).Gears.Metal axle.Glue.Manual.Recommended age: children aged 6-8 years and above.Attention: contains small parts, keep away from children under 3 years old. A size deviation of 1-3 cm is possible due to manual measurement.
