3. Setup and Assembly
Each individual STEM kit comes with its own detailed, step-by-step instructions, complete with illustrative pictures. It is highly recommended to follow these specific instructions for each project to ensure correct assembly and functionality.
General Assembly Guidelines:
- Unpack Components: Carefully open the packaging for the specific kit you wish to assemble. Lay out all components and compare them against the parts list in the kit's instruction manual to ensure everything is present.
- Review Instructions: Before starting, read through the entire instruction manual for the chosen kit to understand the assembly sequence.
- Follow Steps Sequentially: Assemble the kit by following the numbered steps precisely. Pay close attention to diagrams and illustrations.
- Secure Connections: Ensure all connections (e.g., wires, interlocking pieces, screws) are secure but do not overtighten or force components.
- Test Functionality: After assembly, test the project's functionality as described in its specific manual.
Adult supervision is recommended, especially for younger children, to assist with assembly and ensure safety.

4. Operating Instructions
Each Poraxy STEM kit operates based on the scientific principles it demonstrates. Once assembled, the operation typically involves activating a power source (e.g., batteries, solar panel) or interacting with the physical mechanism.
General Operation Principles:
- Motorized Projects: For kits like the Solar-Powered Car, Aircraft Car, Wind-Powered Car, Obstacle Avoidance Robot, Squirming Robot, and Transmission Tank, ensure batteries (if required and not included) are correctly installed. Activate the power switch to observe movement.
- Physics-Based Projects: Kits such as the Hydraulic Lifting Platform, Tension Structure, Magnetic Levitation, and Ball Seesaw are operated by direct physical interaction, demonstrating principles like force, balance, and magnetism.
- Observation Tools: The Telescope and 3D Hologram Projector are designed for observation and visual exploration.
Encourage children to experiment with the projects, observe how they work, and discuss the underlying scientific concepts. This hands-on exploration is key to the learning process.

5. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and continued functionality of your Poraxy STEM Kits, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe components with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Storage: Store assembled kits and unused components in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and excessive humidity. Keep small parts in designated containers to prevent loss.
- Battery Care: If a kit uses batteries, remove them if the kit will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage.
- Handle with Care: While durable, these kits are educational models. Avoid dropping them or applying excessive force, which could damage delicate parts or connections.
