Johnco - 12 in 1 Solar and Hydraulic Construction Kit

Discover the future of renewable energy with this innovative 12 in 1 Solar and Hydraulic Construction Kit from Johnco. Build 12 different working models powered by the sun AND water - no batteries required! This hands-on engineering kit teaches real-world concepts about solar power, hydraulics, and sustainable energy through exciting construction challenges.

Why Kids, Parents and Educators Love This STEM Kit

1. Dual Power System - Unique combination of solar panels AND hydraulic power teaches two renewable energy technologies in one kit. Kids see how clean energy works in real time

2. 12 Working Models to Build - From construction vehicles to robotic arms, each model demonstrates different engineering principles. Build them all or focus on favourites

3. No Batteries Needed - Powered entirely by sunlight and water pressure. Eco-friendly design teaches sustainability while reducing ongoing costs

4. Hands-On Engineering - Real construction experience develops problem-solving, spatial reasoning, and mechanical understanding. Kids learn by doing, not just reading

5. Perfect for STEM Education - Aligns with science and technology curriculum. Ideal for school projects, science fairs, or home learning

What Makes This Kit Special

Unlike basic construction kits, this advanced set combines two power sources for maximum learning. The solar panel harnesses sunlight to create electricity, while the hydraulic system uses water pressure to create powerful mechanical movement. Kids discover how engineers use these technologies in real-world applications - from solar farms to construction equipment.

Each of the 12 models teaches different concepts: leverage, gears, hydraulic pressure, solar energy conversion, and mechanical advantage. The detailed instruction manual guides builders through each project with clear diagrams and explanations of the science behind the engineering.

Educational Benefits

Renewable Energy Concepts: Understand how solar panels convert sunlight to electricity and how hydraulic systems multiply force using fluid pressure.

Engineering & Mechanics: Learn about gears, levers, pistons, and mechanical systems through hands-on construction and experimentation.

Problem-Solving: Follow complex instructions, troubleshoot builds, and understand cause-and-effect relationships in mechanical systems.

Environmental Awareness: Discover the importance of renewable energy and sustainable technology for our planet's future.
