The Academy 18114 provides a practical way to learn about solar energy through a small, buildable car that runs from an onboard solar panel. It is aimed at enthusiasts and students keen to see how sunlight can be turned into usable motion.
This kit is designed for hands-on learning, introducing basic mechanical assemblies and energy conversion in a step-by-step build. The construction highlights how the solar cell delivers current to the drive mechanism.
After assembly the model operates as a working vehicle and reveals its internal gearing and wheel train. The transparent elements make it easy to observe energy transfer and mechanical motion.
Included parts cover wheels, gears and the solar panel, and the snap-fit pieces remove the need for glue or complex tools. The straightforward build is suitable for newcomers and for quick demonstration projects.
