## Overview

The Thames & Kosmos Kids First Intro to Engineering Kit offers 25 hands-on experiments across five thematic sections—land, air, water, and home engineering. Designed for kids aged 5 to 10, it includes a detailed 48-page guidebook that teaches fundamental engineering principles through building projects like helicopters, sailboats, and air-powered carousels. This STEM-focused kit encourages family interaction and nurtures early technical skills with engaging, real-world applications.

## Description

Intro to Engineering welcomes children to the field of engineering with 21 experiments and building projects in five sections. By engaging in hands-on activities, children will learn how engineers apply their scientific and technical knowledge to design machines and devices. Start by learning some engineering basics with experiments on levers, forces, and pulleys. Build simple devices using these basic components. Move on to explore engineering on land by building vehicles with wheels, such as a race car and a wind-up car. Next, investigate engineering with air (and in the air) by building a helicopter, a parachute, a glider, and an air-powered carousel. Then, build a diving bell, a sailboat, and a paddle boat to experiment with engineering in water. Finally, find engineering in your own home with experiments modeling the telephone and television. Make a funny robot model! With a 48-page guidebook, Intro to Engineering teaches engineering fundamentals with step-by-step, hands-on experiments and building projects.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Getting my niece into engineering!
*by M***N on January 23, 2020*

I picked this up for my 5 year old niece, and I was asking her for parts by their proper names in about an hour. "pass me the lever, and I'll show you how" If you're like me, and want your nieces and nephews starting early into Newtonian Mechanics before junior high, this is a good start!
