Description

• With TeacherGeek, kids really design and construct their own electromagnetic cranes using real tools, magnets, circuits and more
• Features FREE document resources – build guides, labs, multi-player games, and engineering + design challenges for competitive innovation
• Compatible with recycling bin components, 3-D printables or additional materials for endless solutions
• Encourages creativity, critical thinking, problem solving – allows kids to reach higher cognitive domains through experimentation and invention
• Explores concepts of magnetism, electricity, electromagnetism, force, robotics, energy, simple machines, mass, mechanical advantage and engineering

A real pick-me-up, the TeacherGeek electromagnetic crane is a classic activity with an utterly “green” twist kids engineer and construct a crane design to innovate recycling and waste disposal!
They start by building and experimenting with an electromagnet, later adding a crane mechanism for control. Watch as kids evolve their creations through the engineering & design Process, using included extra TeacherGeek components, recycling bin materials, 3-D printed elements and so much more. How many magnetic objects can they sort in two minutes? Compete against other cranes in exciting, diverse challenges – including an incredible multi-player board game that sets mind versus mind. Engineer a tournament or simply watch as your classroom, program, scouting troop or child is blown away by the possibilities of true STEM. Build once, tinker forever.
