【Creative Time】Wooden House Coin Sorter | Automatic Sorting STEAM Parent-Child DIY

This STEAM DIY wooden house coin sorter integrates principles of mechanics, physics concepts, and logical reasoning, making it an educational toy ideal for elementary and middle school students, parent-child learning, and after-school exploration. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51376178085_f04ecc5997_h.jpg ⭐️ Developed and guided by Professor Huang Qin-fei's Brain-STEAM research from National Kaohsiung Normal University ⭐️ Endorsed by over a hundred elementary and middle school teachers 🎨 Freely paintable to create a unique ancient lock treasure chest Crafted from warm, smooth wood, it faithfully replicates the structural principles of ancient wooden locks. The engineering team has replaced the original heavy bolts with tension springs for safer operation and a smoother feel. During assembly, children can learn "how locks work" and "how ancient people solved problems," fostering logical reasoning and curiosity. 🔒 Upon opening the wooden lock, you'll find the internal "coin sorting structure": coins automatically fall into their respective slots based on the angle of the ramp and their falling speed, allowing children to intuitively grasp concepts of acceleration and physics. 💡 A Little About Yangshao Culture 💡 Wooden locks were among the earliest locking mechanisms in ancient China. Modern locks have largely evolved from these ancient wooden designs. The basic structure was simple: a hole in the door allowed a tool like a bamboo pole or stick to be inserted from the outside, enabling someone inside to activate a wooden bolt to open or secure the door. It is said that during the Yangshao culture (circa 5000 BC to 3000 BC), people were already using wood to create ancient locks, though no original artifacts remain today. ⚙️ Product Specifications ⚙️ Product Name/Model: Wooden House Coin Sorter / 9AH04201 Finished Dimensions: 17cm x 11cm x 24cm Packaging Dimensions: 31.5cm x 21cm x 4.2cm Recommended Age: 14+ years Difficulty Level: ★★★☆☆ Assembly Time: Approx. 2 - 2.5 hours Materials: Eco-friendly non-toxic wood, springs Origin: Taiwan ⚠️ Important Notes - Please use the included sandpaper to smooth wooden parts before assembly.
