STEM Lab Counter, 3D Wooden Kit

The counter offers two data recording options: via the push button on the top of the body, or via the rotating handle on the right side. Pressing the push button or turning the handle advances the counter by one unit. When it reaches 9, the Maltese cross engages the next recording wheel and adds a ten (or hundred) to the count.

In total, the counter's three-digit display can show values ​​between 1 and 999. You can also open the counter's front cover and reset it manually.

Other uses of this mechanism include counting flight passengers, event visitors, or customers at shopping malls or public transportation in large cities. It is an ancient tool invented by the ancient Greek engineer Hero of Alexandria. In this case, it was used to measure distance traveled by counting the number of rotations of the wheels of a wooden cart.

You can also use it in different ways by using your imagination: try counting the steps you take to get from one room to another in your house, or the number of people who pass by your window in a given time. Or how about the number of yellow cars you see on your afternoon walk? Or count the kilometers on a stretch of road and compare it to the number of kilometers the car has traveled.

To assemble any set of the series of

STEM Lab

You'll need a pocket study guide, an illustrated manual, the wooden boards with pre-cut puzzle pieces, and some additional materials. All of this is included in the box, and it's all you need to get started. You won't need glue or anything else that isn't included in the STEM Lab box.

Once the project is complete, you can take a look beyond the assembly process and explore all the pendulum's real-life applications through the augmented reality experience provided by the UGears STEM Lab app. Point your phone or tablet at the puzzle and see how this mechanism is used in various machines. You can also zoom in with your fingers and see how it works from different angles.

STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. It is an innovative approach to teaching these disciplines through a practical demonstration of key principles of scientific laws. UGears' STEM Lab series features 3D models based on this learning method. Through a series of exciting experiments, children and adults will be able to more easily understand science and the logic behind the mechanisms that surround us in our daily lives. Furthermore, the STEM method allows students to develop problem-solving skills, critical thinking, creativity, and much more.
