## Description

SMARTIVITY: HYDRAULIC CRANE - Have you ever been curious about how powerful construction machines operate? With this engaging DIY kit, your child can become an engineer by building their very own hydraulic-powered crane from scratch. The hands-on project guides them through constructing the crane and learning how hydraulics work in the process. Once assembled, your child will fill the syringes with water to power the machine. They'll control the first syringe to grab objects securely, the second syringe to lift the load high, and the third to rotate the arm and transfer it smoothly. Complete with clear, step-by-step instructions, this kit also includes explanations of important STEM concepts to spark learning and excitement. Your child will be able to explore and perform independent experiments, enhancing their understanding of physics and engineering principles in a fun, interactive way. Children will be able to learn aerodynamics, hydraulics, and scissor mechanisms. Made from high quality sustainable wood. Perfect for sparking curiosity and building essential problem-solving skills for kids ages 8 and up.

Review: Works Great - My Grandson thinks it's great. Really works with a little help from Dad.
Review: Perfect for your little engineer - This was the perfect gift for our little engineer. He's 9 and didn't have any issues with this set but he has always been able to complete LEGOs above his age too so being that it is labeled for 8+ is accurate but they may need some assistance. The kit overall is very nice and once together is sturdy and stable enough to play with. While filling and bleeding the hydraulic lines can get a bit messy, after that the system worked great without and issues. With assembly, most of it went off without a hitch. There were a couple parts that were not cut properly but most of it was remedied with an XACTO knife. The biggest issue we encountered was the top plate of the hydraulic center. The pins didn't line up with the keys so there was no way to make the piece fit. The set was usable without it but one of the plungers would move out of place all the time. I finally cut out the slots with my hobby knife and saw to allow the piece to fit. Its off center but does the job. This would have been 5 stars easy but this little misalignment issues was a bit of an issue and for some this may stop the whole build if the alignment issue was somewhere else in the machine. For most I think any small issues could be oversome with some basic tools at home and the final product is educational and fun while also providing quite a bit of replay value.
