2. Safety Information

Please read and understand all safety instructions before assembly and use. Adult supervision is recommended, especially for younger users.

• Small Parts Warning: This kit contains small parts that may pose a choking hazard for children under 3 years of age. Keep all components out of reach of infants and toddlers.
• Age Recommendation: Recommended for ages 6-14 years. Younger children may require assistance from an adult.
• Material Safety: Components are made from laser-cut wood. Handle with care to avoid splinters.
• Electrical Components: Some kits may involve simple electrical circuits. Ensure batteries are inserted correctly and do not short-circuit components.

3. Setup and Assembly

Each of the six STEM kits comes with its own detailed, step-by-step instruction manual. Follow the specific instructions provided with each individual kit for proper assembly.

General Assembly Guidelines:

1. Unpack Components: Carefully unpack all parts for one kit at a time. Verify that all pieces listed in the kit's instruction manual are present.
2. Review Instructions: Before starting, thoroughly read the specific instruction manual for the kit you are assembling.
3. Identify Parts: Match the wooden pieces to the diagrams in the instructions. The laser-cut edges are smooth for easy integration.
4. Assemble Carefully: Follow the numbered steps precisely. Apply gentle, even pressure when connecting parts. Do not force pieces together.
5. Secure Connections: Ensure all connections are firm and stable as per the instructions. Some kits may require screws or other fasteners.

4. Operating Instructions

Once assembled, each kit offers a unique interactive experience demonstrating scientific principles.

Ball Seesaw:

Place the included marbles or small balls onto the designated starting point. Observe how gravity and momentum cause the balls to travel through the seesaw mechanism, demonstrating energy transfer.

Hyperbolic Lifting Platform:

Operate the syringe to control the hydraulic system. Pushing the plunger will raise the platform, while pulling it will lower it, illustrating Pascal's principle and hydraulic power.

Magnetic Levitation:

Carefully position the magnetic components as instructed. Observe how magnetic forces create repulsion, allowing one part to levitate above another, demonstrating principles of magnetism.

Tension Structure:

This model demonstrates how tension can create a stable structure. Gently place a lightweight object on the top platform and observe the balance achieved through the tensioned strings.

Binoculars:

Hold the assembled binoculars to your eyes and adjust as needed to view distant objects. This kit demonstrates basic optics and how lenses can magnify images.

3D Holographic Projection:

Place a smartphone or tablet with a holographic video playing onto the base of the projector. The transparent panels will reflect the image, creating a 3D holographic effect. Ensure the room is dimly lit for best results.

5. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and functionality of your STEM kits.

• Cleaning: Use a dry, soft cloth to gently wipe down the wooden components. Avoid using water or chemical cleaners, as these can damage the wood.
• Storage: Store the assembled kits in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and excessive humidity. Disassemble kits if long-term storage is required, keeping all parts organized.
• Component Check: Periodically inspect all parts for any signs of wear, damage, or loose connections. Tighten screws if necessary.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues during assembly or operation, refer to these common troubleshooting tips.

Parts Not Fitting:

• Check Orientation: Ensure the parts are oriented correctly according to the instruction manual diagrams.
• Verify Part Number: Double-check that you are using the correct part for the current step.
• Gentle Pressure: Apply firm but gentle pressure. Do not force parts, as this can cause damage.

Mechanism Not Moving/Functioning:

• Review Assembly Steps: Go back through the assembly steps for that specific kit to ensure no steps were missed or incorrectly performed.
• Check Connections: Ensure all connections, especially for moving parts or electrical components (if applicable), are secure.
• Clear Obstructions: Verify that no small debris or misaligned parts are obstructing movement.
