Children's education is a continuous process, which nowadays can be implemented not only at school, but also at home through various games and building blocks. One of the most effective ways to combine fun with learning is the STEM approach – science, technology, engineering and math. Why are wooden models becoming an increasingly popular tool for developing children's skills in these areas?

What is STEM and why is it important?
STEM stands for four key areas of education: science, technology, engineering and mathematics . In today's world, these fields are important not only for professional success, but also for understanding the technology and scientific principles that affect our daily lives. STEM education develops critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills—skills that are essential for our children's future.
How do wooden models support STEM education?
Wooden models are not just about assembling parts. Their construction includes many principles from the world of STEM . When assembling individual mechanical models, children (and adults) develop various skills:
- Technology and Engineering
- Mathematics and logical thinking
- Creativity
Our top STEM models
If you're looking for the perfect combination of fun and education for kids or adults, here are our recommendations for models that perfectly combine STEM principles with creative assembly:
1. ROKR Vitascope LK601 movie projector
This unique mechanical model allows you to assemble a fully functional movie projector. In this way, children not only learn about projection technology, but they can also project a short film themselves. While building the model, they learn about the principles of light, optics and mechanical transmissions.
2. ROKR AMK61 Victorian lantern
The Victorian lamp is not only a musical lamp, but also a puzzle that will challenge your logical thinking and fine mental skills. The music box also spins and displays elegant Victorian architecture. The lamp has a solid handle, thanks to which you can carry it or hang it anywhere you want. The lantern is the perfect decoration for your home, office or any other place you want to add charm and romance to.
3. Marble Night City ROKR LGA01
This ball track combines fun with technical principles. The model contains complex mechanisms that teach children about gravity, inertia and motion. After assembling the model, they can watch the balls pass through different tracks in the style of a night city.
4. ROKR LGA02 Chocolate Factory
The model not only combines the world of chocolate with physics principles in a fun way, but children also learn about mechanical systems and engineering solutions, such as the lifting mechanism and the gears that drive the balls along the tracks.
This model is perfect for older children and adults who want to learn more about historical technology. After assembling the mechanical printer, children can create their own prints, learning about the principle of movable type printing.
Conclusion: Entertainment and education go hand in hand
STEM models combine the joy of learning and creative assembly. Whether children are discovering the principles of physics, technology or mechanics, these models are a great way to develop important skills while having great fun. At Robotoys, we offer a wide selection of STEM models that are perfect for anyone who wants to combine learning with fun. Choose your model today and start a building full of exciting discoveries!
