The main model uses the balance of forces in statics and tension, creating an impressive optical illusion. The dragon on chains looks as if it is floating in the air, clearly showing children how structural stability works.
The kit contains more than 220 plastic pieces that children can use to assemble a detailed mechanical dragon model. Building supports patience, precision, creativity and technical reasoning.
In addition to the main floating dragon, static Wyvern and Hydra models can also be assembled one after another. This gives children more building options and longer-lasting fun with one creative set.
This science and construction kit gives children a fun way to understand the balance of forces, tension and the stability of structures. The main model is a floating dragon on chains, which, thanks to the correct distribution of forces, appears to float in the air. When attaching the chains, children can clearly see how tension affects the strength and integrity of the entire structure.
The set can be used to build 3 different models one at a time – the main floating dragon and the additional Wyvern and Hydra models. The models cannot be built simultaneously; only one can be assembled at a time. The additional models are static and do not use the principle of tensegrity.
Clementoni Science & Play supports the STEM educational concept, which connects science, technology, engineering and mathematics. The kit is ideal for children who enjoy building, experimenting and discovering how technical principles work in practice.
