Academy 18114 Solar Powered Model Car Kit for STEM  [AC-18114]

Academy 18114 Solar Car STEM Kit

This Academy 18114 Solar Car kit makes solar energy approachable by combining simple mechanics with a real photovoltaic panel. The project is aimed at young builders and hobbyists who want a clear, hands-on introduction to how sunlight can be converted into motion.

Active Learning Through Build

Made as an educational STEM activity, this kit prompts users to explore renewable energy basics while assembling moving parts. The build sequence highlights gear interaction and how the solar panel supplies power to turn the wheels.

Functional Model and Clear Display

After construction the model both runs and displays internal mechanics, with transparent parts that let builders see power transfer in action. It works well as a working demo and as a shelf model that sparks conversation about solar tech.

Simple Parts and Quick Assembly

The kit ships with the components needed to complete the vehicle, including gears, wheels and a solar panel. Parts snap together for straightforward assembly, making it suitable for beginners or for a quick classroom project without extra tools or glue.
