Engineer Kit Overview:
Thames & Kosmos Aircraft Engineer Kit. This kit invites young learners to embark on a fun adventure with Ty and Karlie Omega, two young engineers. Through an engaging story about their hilarious family vacation, kids can build simple models of the aircraft the siblings discover. As the story unfolds, Ty and Karlie build various flying machines to help people they meet solve problems and complete tasks. The journey starts with the construction of a passenger jet to bring the family to a tropical island. Upon arrival, they build a helicopter to assist a scientist studying sea turtles in reaching a remote island. Throughout their trip, they also construct a biplane, solar glider, seaplane, triplane, prop plane, hang glider, space plane, and supersonic jet.
This kit, combined with a beautifully illustrated storybook, offers an engaging way to introduce simple engineering concepts to young kids. Children can build models of the ten vehicles mentioned in the story using large, colorful plastic pieces that are easy for small hands to manipulate. It helps lay the groundwork for strong science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) skills while developing fine motor skills.
