From the brand
ARE YOU LOOKING for a fun and interactive way to introduce your child to the fascinating world of science and technology? This exciting toy allows kids to learn all about Newton’s laws of motion which are the basis of classical mechanics that still describe most everyday life situations.
BUILD 8 WORKING MODELS such as ballistic catapult, crash test car, balloon-powered plane and more. Children will be amazed by the endless possibilities of this STEM toy.
EASY TO FOLLOW instructions and the toy comes with 12 pages of theory and facts, accompanied by fun experiments to test newly acquired knowledge. Plus, a 3-page quiz section is included to test the children’s understanding.
THE STEM toy is suitable for ages 9 and above. An interactive 3D app which allows children to build in virtual reality can be downloaded for free.
ENGINO is made in Europe, known for bringing complex concepts into clear focus for budding engineers and scientists with award-winning components. Make education fun with Engino – the must-have STEM toy for kids!

Creative play
Students really enjoyed the open ended options. We liked this one a great deal but for what itâs worth my fifth graders loved the physics option by this company even more. There is a book with information and ideas for builds which was helpful but not essential. Suitable for grades 3-5 and if using it in a group maybe with 3 kids. It took longer than expected and I would plan on at least 45 minutes per build-kids really get into testing out how the pieces work and coming up with ideas to test out. Careful with some of the smaller pieces such as the axelâs as they are easily lost if you arenât careful when packing it up. The box it came in is snazzy however I ended up using a zip lock bag to store the pieces once opened to keep it all together.

Great set of good quality
I purchased this set for 8 year old grandson who likes to do legos. This set was perfect. Very good quality pieces. Very good instructions and the kit makes a moving cabin, ballistic catapult, balloon powered plane, a collision car, dragster, and gravity fan and 2 more models with online instructions. He could built the structures by himself. Would highly recommend.

Go to the 3D model
My wife bought this a while ago for our 7 year old grandson. She asked me today to see if I could find the manual on line. I spent an hour digging around on the web sites (there are more than one) and finally came to a section that had a box labeled “3D” I clicked on it, and it came up with a complete start to finish assembly diagram that showed how to build the project (we did the pendulum first) and I was extremely impressed with this link. I would have given this a 5 rating except it took some time to find this link; actually I found it on an Amazon review.

More than just fun – It is a learning ADVENTURE
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!

Cool
Awesome for genius kids.

Good for mechanical design and fun constructing toys, but not a physics lesson
The designs are good and the kids would enjoy putting the various machines together. However, it is a stretch to call this a lesson in physics. Here you have interesting machines, and it appears that they are marketing as a physics lesson in order to stimulate sales. So, purchase if you want to have some interesting machines to build, but not if you want to give your kid a physics lesson. They have a book which tries to spin the designs and the machines as physics lessons. Actually, it is mainly engineering, how to put machines together, and not physics. Physics involves changes in momentum, vector motion, speed and acceleration at an elementary level. This is not actually taught by these machines. However, the machines are good to build and the kid will learn a lot by putting these models together. I would give these a 4 star, but I reduce by 1 because of what I consider to be improper marketing.

This kit looked amazing but the materials used in the parts were flimsy, so none of the models worked at designed. We had to return it.

Awesome kit. I purchased this to use in an afterschool STEM/STEAM Lab. Of course, I need to put it together first to make sure it is good. First of all, Engino does a great job putting these kits together. The booklet has history, background, and Newton’s Laws and theories and it even has labs and quizzes. As a teacher, I really appreciate what has been put together in this kit, and that’s before you play with it.Putting the models together is quite easy. My only criticism is that sometimes the instructions are a bit hard to read. Personally, I think this is a great kit with adult supervision. Some kids will just go to town and build it, others will need some help. That’s part of the reason we bought them.Is it worth it? This is the second Engino kit I have bought for my program. I love the quality, ease of use, and educational content. This isn’t just ‘build, play and forget’, it’s more for those who want and need it.Our other kit is the STEM06 Buildings and Bridges, and I like that too. I will buy more for my program, and maybe myself. (I want that Eiffel Tower kit ENG-STEM55.)
Cliente de Amazon –
No es un producto malo, sin embargo, a mi sobrino y a mi, viniendo de estar acostumbrados a armar otras marcas de productos o juegos de construcción, se nos hizo un poco rara la forma de armarse de este set, ya una vez armado, le agarras el modo. Las instrucciones impresas nos parecieron un poco difÃciles de entender, pero siento que es por lo que comento, que venimos de utilizar otros productos que se arman diferente. Todo viene en inglés, lo que puede complicar la cosa a quien no conozca el idioma. Aún con todo eso, no dudo en recomendarlo para los niños, eso sÃ, este set es para que el papá o el tÃo se siente al lado del niño para que entre los dos lo armen o bien lo arme el niño y el adulto supervise por cualquier complicación.

Compramos 1 para probar y fue un éxito, asà que nos decidimos por un 2do juguete; lo han disfrutado mucho armándolo y hasta encontrándole otros formas.
