Create an old-fashioned 3-digit mechanical counter with this certified STEM project kit. Long ago, these counters were used to keep track of people present at amusement parks or movie theaters. When finished, the counter model functions the same way the originals would have: use the click button to rotate the motors and change the numbers. This set comes with everything you need for your no-glue-required project. Pieces come pre-cut in the wooden boards, ready for you to snap together. The finished model measures about 5.3” x 2.6” x 4.8” and can be painted using thin paints or watercolors for an even bolder effect. This is an easy-level project with 157 pieces and an assembly time of about two hours. Recommended for ages 8 and up.
