The Booster Pack is an add-on to the Electric Motors Catalyst that includes a high-torque gear motor, new wheels, LEDs and conductive copper tape. It also comes with additional Challenge Cards that open a wide range of new capabilities for kids to explore. THE GEAR MOTOR enables inventions that need more power or lower rotational speeds, including “creeping” robots, “chairlifts” that can climb up a string, and a huge variety of drawing machines. LED LIGHTS let kids build blinkers and dimmers, and the electrically minded might even figure out how to make a light glow without using a battery at all (hint: a motor can be a generator!). COPPER TAPE creates an enormous new range of electrical connections, and is especially useful for switches that make things that start and stop or blink or jiggle. NEW CHALLENGES inspire even more engaging, creative possibilities!

Great Product
I purchased several of the Tinkering Labs kits and now the booster packs for my classroom. The children in my school-age program (age 5-11) LOVE them. It keeps them so busy. I can't believe all of the wonderful things they have created. They can use the card ideas in the kits, or just use their own imagination! I would highly recommend them! It gets kids thinking, learning about STEM and there is no wrong or right way to use them.
