Ice Skating Rink STEM Engineering Kit for Kids – Motorized Gears, Simple Machines & Circuitry Building Activity, Ages 8+

Combine engineering, creativity, and winter-themed fun with the Ice Skating Rink Engineering Kit for Kids. This hands-on STEM activity lets children construct a miniature motorized skating rink while exploring gears, motion, simple machines, and basic circuitry.

Hands-On STEM Learning: Children build a working mechanical skating rink while developing an understanding of how gears, motors, and moving parts work together to create motion.

Explore Gears & Simple Machines: The gear-driven design provides an engaging introduction to mechanical engineering concepts. Kids can observe how connected gears transfer movement throughout their finished creation.

Motorized Engineering Project: Assemble the included motor, battery pack, gears, and other components to bring the skating rink to life. Once completed, the characters appear to spin and skate around the rink.

Engineering Meets Creativity: In addition to constructing the mechanical components, children can decorate their winter scene using the included backdrop, paper decorations, felt skaters, and craft materials.

Develops Important Skills: Encourages problem-solving, following directions, spatial reasoning, creativity, fine motor development, and an interest in engineering and technology.

Great for Classroom & Homeschool: An engaging choice for STEM lessons, makerspaces, science activities, homeschool projects, engineering units, family learning, and seasonal educational activities.

Kit Includes: Wood base, gear track, 4 bolts, 4 legs, backdrop, paper decorations, 6 felt skaters, 2 plastic disks, 4 gears, 2 sticky foam sheets, battery pack, 2 AA batteries, motor, 6 nuts, and illustrated instructions.

Recommended Age: 8+
Skills: Engineering, gear mechanics, simple machines, circuitry, problem-solving, building, and creative design
