Smart Contraption Lab for Weird & Wacky

Smart Lab’s Weird & Wacky Contraption Lab is a unique educational toy designed for children ages four through 12. With 66 mix-and-match pieces, kids can unleash their creativity and imagination to create and test nearly any crazy contraption they can dream up. This hands-on learning experience allows kids to play the roles of architect, builder, and engineer as they experiment with the wacky parts, gears, levers, and tracks along the Velcro-like play surface.

The lab is designed to teach fundamental physics concepts, including gravity, momentum, and velocity, in a fun and interactive way. The kit includes an easy-to-read manual with five course designs to kickstart the experimenting and fun. Kids have the freedom to mix and match different tracks, gears, and levers to manipulate the rolling ball down the track in a variety of ways, making it a different experience each time they play.

The 66 pieces in the lab each have a unique characteristic or function that lends itself to endless configurations and creative possibilities. From a toilet, a cleaning machine, gears, and a cup, to a zigzag ramp, boot buster, chicken coop, and stunt pig cannon, the variety of pieces allows for endless excitement and entertainment. There are a variety of tracks, stoppers, and steel balls, providing plenty of options for creating new games.

The lab is easy to assemble, and children aged eight and up will have little trouble getting it up and running without adult help. The plastic pieces easily snap into place and stick to the board with the Velcro-like system, making it a breeze to set up and play. The instructional booklet features five fun and educational course designs that are easy to build but a challenge to make work effectively, teaching valuable lessons on trial and error, problem solving, and working towards a predicted goal.

Smart Lab’s Weird & Wacky Contraption Lab has won multiple awards for its unique educational approach and versatility. Testing and experimentation with the different pieces allow kids to learn problem-solving skills and gain a better understanding of physics concepts, such as gravity, momentum, and velocity.

In addition to providing endless entertainment and educational value, the lab also promotes STEM learning in a fun and innovative way. The kit allows young scientists to experiment with gears, levers, funnels, and ramps, allowing them to learn about gravity, momentum, angles, and velocity through hands-on, trial-and-error learning. With its unlimited building possibilities and the option for individual or collaborative play, the Weird & Wacky Contraption Lab is an award-winning toy that promotes problem-solving, strategy-building, and experimentation.
