Discover piezoelectricity in a ready-to-go shake tube. This is the STEM kit for anyone curious about real-world piezo applications. Follow the project booklet to experiment with different masses striking a piezo disc. This kit offers optional advanced experimentation for compact product design using surface mount electronics.
Skills Learned:
- Fundamentals of piezo technology
- Basic electronic components
- Reading a schematic
- Energy scavenging
- Parasitic resistance & design challenges
- Advanced: Surface mount component technology and reworks
NOTE: Advanced experiment options require soldering skills (soldering iron not included).
WARNING: This is a STEM kit designed for adult use. This kit contains small parts that may present a choking hazard. Use discretion.
