An Easy Hands-On STEM Project
The Lakin clock kit by Hermle is perfect for teachers in upper elementary, middle, and even high school, who are looking to incorporate a unique, hands-on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) project into their science curriculum. This kit allows your students to piece together a mechanical desk clock following easy-to-follow video and written instructions.
Whether you are a public or private school teacher, or homeschooling parent, the Lakin clock kit is an easy to implement STEM project that you can incorporate into your science curriculum planning.
RECOVERING ANALOG SKILLS
In a high digital, screen first culture where students' ingenuity is being shut down by increasing automation and disembodied digital environments, it's critical that we lead them back to the real world where they can re-gain:
- Problem solving skills
- Steady mental focus
- Manual dexterity
- Curiosity and creativity
TEACHING HISTORY & SCIENCE THROUGH HOROLOGY
In a world where 'smart' devices do everything for us, including keep time, it is important to remember that timekeeping is an ancient feat of human engineering. From sundials to water clocks and the development of clock movements, there is no greater topic than horology to merge together both history and science in a rich, hands-on learning environment. Trace the development of technology with your students through timekeeping!
INSPIRING YOUNG ENGINEERS
While the average student will greatly benefit from the skills and mindsets developed through hands-on STEM education projects, students with engineering ambition will especially be inspired by the Lakin clock kit. Supercharge their love of science, technology, engineering, and math - help cultivate the next generation of engineers.
