The Design & Play STEAM Set allows children to create and customise real-working cars for a fun-filled introduction to early STEAM concepts! Ideal for integrating STEM with arts & crafts, each kit includes materials for 10 children to engineer their own vehicle. Children just use the pre cut pieces to build each car, and customise it with their craft materials (not included). Then put it into action! As students test their creations, they’ll explore ways to fine-tune each vehicle until they have a car that races!
 
Each set is supplied with a teacher’s guide and the materials needed to create 10 working vehicles. Children build balloon-powered cars with 10 chipboard car bodies, 40 plastic wheels, 40 foam blocks, 30 straws, 20 axles, 12 balloons & 50 rubber bands. Car bodies are 15cm.
