POWERplus Grasshopper Solar & Dynamo Car DIY STEM Kit (Battery-Free, 8+)

The POWERplus Grasshopper is a DIY educational construction kit that demonstrates two methods of energy generation: solar power and manual dynamo power. This STEM-based toy allows users to build a functional vehicle that operates without batteries.

The model can be powered using a solar panel in direct sunlight or by turning a hand-operated generator (dynamo) to produce electricity. The generated energy drives a small motor, enabling the vehicle to move forward and backward on flat surfaces.

The kit includes all required components such as construction parts, solar panel, dynamo module, motor, and drivetrain elements. It introduces basic concepts of renewable energy, mechanical motion, and simple electrical systems.

This product supports skill development including problem-solving, coordination, and understanding of energy conversion. Suitable for children aged 8 years and above. Adult supervision is recommended during assembly.
