STEM Mechanical Maze Project x 20

Description

STEM Mechanical Maze Project – Class Set of 20

Put problem-solving and precision to the test with the STEM Mechanical Maze Project! In this exciting hands-on activity, students build a tilting wooden maze that they control manually using knobs, gears, or linkages — guiding a small ball through twists, turns, and dead ends.

Ideal for Years 3–6, this class set of 20 kits includes everything needed for students to create their own working maze board. As they assemble the mechanisms and test their designs, they’ll develop a deeper understanding of movement, gravity, and control systems.

This tactile and engaging project is perfect for both STEM clubs and classroom enrichment.
