Smartivity – Super Duper Propulsion Car

Smartivity – Super Duper Propulsion Car: Create your own air-powered car and understand the fundamentals of motion, friction, thrust and propulsion. This kit allows kids to build an air-powered balloon car and play the Parking Garage Game.

This kit comes with its own air pump and kids have to judge and fill just the right amount of air so that their car is properly parked in the garage they build.

Kids can lay out the tracks they have built, change track length, and adjust the gradient/slope for their propulsion car. Alter the adjustable gradient notches to understand power variations required to climb an incline. Introduce your child to jet propulsion and thrust. Learn the concepts of friction and braking using the breakers on flat track. Paint or colour using your own markers or paints once assembled. Includes 120 pieces and a step-by-step instruction manual. D.I.Y. time: 40 minutes / Play time: unlimited.

Introduce your child to the power of jet propulsion and thrust with Smartivity Super Duper Propulsion Car S.T.E.M. Educational D.I.Y. Toy Kit. A redesign of our most popular activity project in the 6+ age group, the Super Duper Propulsion Car now comes with extendable tracks and additional learnings about friction and gradients.

Once assembled, children can lay out the tracks they have built and change the length of the track as they please. The tracks have a flat element and an adjustable gradient/slope element. Using the breakers on the flat tracks, children learn the concept of friction and braking. While, by changing the notches of the adjustable gradient, children understand the variation in power required to climb an incline.

STEM/STEAM learning uses Science, Technology, Engineering, (Arts), and Math to develop creative, analytical, and practical intelligence.

Inspire innovation, discussion, and questioning.

The high quality, non-toxic engineered wood provides a safe canvas to build, play, and learn.

Get creative: decorate with your own paints and colours.
