This colorful, 80+ piece construction set is remarkably effective at igniting in children a deeply felt and lasting enthusiasm for building. Part of youngsters' excitement stems from the 'eyes on the prize' knowledge that, once complete, the resultant RC Monster Truck will offer a massive amount of action-filled fun. But kids quickly discover that the building process has its own considerable rewards. Focus and concentration are brought to bear, and with them, a budding sense of skill and mastery. Young builders soon find themselves deeply absorbed in familiarizing themselves with the various types of pieces and the ways in which they fit together. When finished, the remote controlled Monster Truck roars across the floor (both forward and reverse), headlights on, sound effects blazing. Throughout the vehicle are gears whose highly visible interactions are essential to its mobility. Techno Gears RC Monster Truck provides an excellent hands-on introduction to the science of gear ratio that aligns with and supports STEM standards.
