The Meshing Around with Gears kit provides all the materials needed to build basic gear-driven models, including a winch and a trundle cart. It features gears, corroplast, and JAX clips, along with a comprehensive 16-page teacher’s guide that explains key gearing principles such as direction of rotation, idlers, gearing up and down, and compound gearing. Perfect for students learning about gears and mechanical design.

Designed for hands-on learning, this kit allows students to explore engineering concepts while building their own gear-powered projects. As they experiment with different configurations, they’ll gain a deeper understanding of how gears interact and how those interactions can drive motion. This is an excellent resource for teaching fundamental mechanical principles and encouraging creative problem-solving.

Ideal for students of various ages, Meshing Around with Gears is a great addition to any STEM curriculum. The set fosters engagement, helping students develop skills in engineering, critical thinking, and design. Whether in the classroom or at home, this kit supports both guided lessons and independent exploration. It includes enough materials for multiple students to build and experiment together.
