Auto-Construction Set «Young Engineer™»
Auto-Construction Set “Young Engineer” – a set of parts of any car, motorcycle or any other vehicle, designed for young men, age 8-14, with a detailed description how to build it up (assemble all the parts together). The cars could be legendary, upcoming or concept of any known or unknown car manufacturer or designer, 4-40 inches (0.1-1 meter) in length with respective width and height. The amount of parts may vary, but it’s obvious that the more parts kid has the more interesting and challenging it will be for him to assemble it (also it is connected with the kids’ age, the more parts in the set, the more older they are, and the more detailed information about the parts are in the Specs Book).
Auto-Construction Set manufacturer emphasizes important car-parts (unique, innovative or specific features which, for example, only this model had or has or will have) by making it as a separate part and/or with a different color to attract kids’ attention.
As a option: all external surfaces can be made white with the set of colorful frames. Therefore the kid can change the color of his car by putting them in the special hollows. Moreover, if the frames are thin enough, the kid can combine two or even three colors to find his unique color for his car. Also the car could be on remote control.
Special attention should be given to the Description Book (or Specification Book). Besides “how to put it all together”, it also should be an easy-to-understand “what is this part for”. Each part of the vehicle can have a number on it, which refer kid to the appropriate chapter in the specs book. The book has to go through psychologists’ editing to be sure that descriptions are understandable for kids’ ages.
Purpose: to give kids a technical look and simple knowledge of cars’ general equipment and devices, develop kids’ motor function, spatial thinking and so on;
also, for car-designers it’s much flexible and experimenting way to develop the world of fantastic, unique and miraculous cars’ shapes, sizes, proportions, colors, internal and external forms – and give it to a new generation to try and judge it.
