Engino Academy of STEAM – Solar Helicopter Engineering Kit

Build it. Power it. Watch it move.

The Engino Academy of STEAM – Solar Helicopter introduces kids to renewable energy and engineering through a hands-on model that actually moves using solar power. By building the helicopter from scratch, children learn about gears, rotation, and how sunlight can be used to create motion -  no batteries required.
