He likes engineering and STEM related stuff, and since there were two included in this kit, my son and I could both do them together. This was a fun project, but be sure to have a decent pair of pliers on hand when you start because you will need to remove a couple parts from the mouse trap. Its nothing hard to do. You're just removing the bait lever and hold stick (basically just pulling a couple oversized staples). It was neat to see the mousetrap turn into a kinetic motion drive. Spawned some fun discussions. But first we raced. We adjusted the tie point on the sticks and watched the difference in relative transferred speed and torque. It was a fun project with a lot of fun learning points. Aside from the pliers to pull the wood staples on the trap, the assembly went together pretty easily. My son did not need any help with assembling his (he was 11 when he got this). Assembly was fairly straight forward. And total build time was relatively quick. I think we both finished inside of 30 minutes and were racing. It was a fun project, engaging, and led to good learning points and discussions. I call that a great win. The parts were good quality. This works well for a lesson plan to demonstrate concepts in real life. Review: Missing Parts!! - I ordered the kit of 10 for a class project. I made kits of all the parts and distributed to students only to realize after that the kit didn't come with any of the metal axles needed for assembly. Very frustrating! I returned the first kit and ordered a replacement kit which did have all of the parts. ## Features - Hands-On Physics Project – Mousetrap Car Kit: Students build mousetrap-powered cars and test how stored energy converts to motion.

It's recommended to remove the mousetrap trigger with pliers so kids cannot arm the trap. **Q: Where is the kit made?** A: The kit is made in China, but designed and distributed by STEM Inventions LLC, a small US-based business owned and operated by a former project-based educator. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fun and worthwhile easy STEM learning project. *by O***E on March 16, 2026* This was a pretty fun kit to do with my son.
