Power Tomorrow’s Engineers with Clean Energy Tools
As the world pivots toward clean energy, it’s vital that students understand how sustainable systems work. This Add-On Set provides the hands-on tools to investigate solar power, wind generation, and energy storage in a maker-friendly format. Rather than passively learning about energy, students build their own small-scale wind turbines, solar panels, mechanical drives, and storage systems to test output, efficiency, and design trade-offs.
Built to integrate seamlessly with your 3Dux, GoBox, or existing maker kits, this Set supports scaffolded exploration—from simple experiments with light and solar panels to full system design challenges that combine wind, solar, and mechanical inputs. Students learn core concepts in physics and engineering: electricity, conversion efficiency, gearing ratios, energy losses, and sustainable design.
Lessons tied to science standards guide students from inquiry questions (Which orientation gives the best solar output?) to modeling, prototyping, testing, and iteration. Teachers receive project prompts and extension ideas, enabling learners to refine their designs, compare energy sources, and present their findings.
This set is ideal for small groups or whole-class rotations and works in tandem with other modules—such as lighting circuits, robotics, or architecture systems—to embed sustainable energy thinking across disciplines. Whether creating self-powered models, energy-harvesting devices, or exploratory prototypes, students engage deeply in real engineering.

CREATIVITY IS KING! The 3DuxDesign mission is to inspire today’s youth to become tomorrow’s innovators. This open-ended construction kit gives kids the tools to imagine, design, build and then refine their creations. By adding your own repurposed cardboard, children have endless raw material to work with and learn about creative repurposing while they build. 3DuxDesign cardboard modeling sets offer the perfect building and prototyping materials for students of all ages. With 3DuxDesign cardboard construction, we offer today’s children the tools to make a better tomorrow.
Why 3DuxDesign Kits?
- PROMOTES STEAM EDUCATION AND PLAY-BASED LEARNING
- INSPIRES EXCEPTIONAL CHILDREN TO REIMAGINE AND INNOVATE
- ELEGANTLY SIMPLE AND INTUITIVE
- PERFECT FOR HOME, SCHOOL, AND BIRTHDAY PARTIES
3DuxUniversity, their online project-based learning hub, gives you the tools to make the most of our sets at home and in the classroom.
3DuxDesign’s Mission:
At 3DuxDesign, they believe innovation is not only about math and science but also art, design, the environment, and people. Through community-centered project-based learning, children are encouraged to imaginatively and practically think through solutions to real-world problems. Students are inspired to build structures and environments using the 3DuxDesign award-winning architectural modeling system. And they are empowered as they share their ideas and collaborate with the 3Dux Global Community.
