Academy Solar Powered Turtle Ship STEM Educational Model Kit

Explore renewable energy, mechanical engineering, and Korean naval history with the Academy Solar Powered Turtle Ship Educational Model Kit. This interactive STEM science kit combines the distinctive design of a historic Korean turtle ship with modern solar-powered technology, allowing builders to assemble a working miniature vessel that moves through water using energy from sunlight.

Unlike conventional static plastic model ships, the Academy Solar Powered Turtle Ship includes a solar cell and miniature electric motor. When exposed to sufficient sunlight, the solar cell generates electricity that powers the motor and propels the assembled vessel through water.
