Make Your Own Motorised Vehicles D&T Class Kit

A kit for creating motorised vehicles with electric circuits and switches for immersive learning.

Overview

Designed for 30 KS2/KS3 pupils, this kit includes materials for building 30 models, enhancing STEM learning.

With this kit, children dive into the practical side of STEM, using their knowledge on electric circuits and switches to create motorised vehicles. It’s a perfect blend of fun and education, promoting critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

This kit directly supports the Design and Technology curriculum at Key Stage 2, emphasising the understanding and use of electrical systems in products. It also aids children in building simple series electrical circuits and learn about variations in component function.
Beyond electrical systems, the kit fosters learning in mechanical systems for Key Stage 1 and 2 students, exploring mechanisms. It’s a dynamic tool for bringing to life theoretical concepts.
Contents may vary.
