Building a space shuttle: an immersion into mechanics
This space shuttle building set offers a unique interactive experience. Made of brick pieces, it assembles without glue or tools thanks to a clever interlocking system. Once built, the shuttle is fully functional, with adjustable fins, a cargo bay door that opens and a robotic arm inspired by the Canadarm. A playful way to discover the principles of mechanics and build hand-eye coordination.
Space shuttle game: an educational, stimulating gift
Giving this space shuttle gamemeans offering an activity that combines science, dexterity and creativity. Worried about the complexity of the assembly? Rest assured, a detailed guide walks through every step, making the build accessible from age 14. Once finished, the shuttle becomes an interactive tool to experiment with and understand the forces at play, awakening scientific curiosity.

Bought this for myself, if I’m honest, and I’ve enjoyed every minute. The tensegrity bit is clever, the shuttle really does seem to hover once the strings are tensioned properly. Took me about an hour and a half. Only small gripe is that a couple of the pieces were a fiddly fit at first, but nothing that spoilt it.

My eight-year-old son went completely silent for the best part of an afternoon, which never happens. He built most of it himself, then gasped when the shuttle floated off the base. It’s now sitting on his bedroom shelf and he explains to anyone who visits how the strings hold it up. Brilliant, and he’s asking about NASA documentaries now!
Gareth Owen –
decent set but the instructions are tiny and the diagrams are hard to follow, we had to squint at a few steps and redo one section. Got there in the end and it looks good on display. Parcel also took nine days to arrive, which was longer than the site said.
Margaret Hughes –
Got this for my grandson’s birthday. He grinned from ear to ear. Spot on.
Margaret Hollis –
Bought this for my grandson Alfie, who’s seven, and he hasn’t put it down since the postie dropped it off. He built the whole shuttle over one rainy Saturday and kept gasping when it floated in mid-air. Now he’s asking me about astronauts every time I see him, which is lovely.
Daniel Pritchard –
spot on. the floating trick is down to tensegrity, so the shuttle sits there held up by tension in the strings and compression in the rods, and it looks like it’s defying gravity.
