Immerse yourself in a playful, imaginative world of STEM stories. Pepper Mint is a new line of STEM kits with experiments and activities that follow the adventures of Pepper Mint, a curious, skillful, and creative young engineer. The experiments are presented in storybook manuals with beautiful illustrations and step-by-step instructions. As you read the stories of Pepper Mint’s adventures, you do the same projects and experiments that she does in the story. After assembly, the large wooden models of a treehouse and a boat become playsets where a child’s imagination can run free.

PEPPER MINT IN THE FANTASTIC UNDERWATER SCIENCE VOYAGE

PEPPER MINT IN THE GREAT TREEHOUSE ENGINEERING ADVENTURE

In this story-based STEM kit, Pepper Mint visits her aunt who is a scientist researching primates. She lives in a treehouse in the rainforest on the island of Borneo. The treehouse is not connected to the electrical power grid, but Pepper Mint and her aunt devise mechanical inventions to accomplish various tasks. They equip the treehouse with mechanical equipment using pulleys, winches, and gears, and learn lessons in physics. Projects include a rope ladder, a pulley to lift heavy objects into the treehouse, a rubber-band powered lift, a rotating palm leaf umbrella, a zipline, a catapult, and a trap door. At the end of the story, Pepper Mint wires up a string of LED lanterns using conductive thread and a battery holder to light up the treehouse in the dark jungle night.

While doing this, she learns about electric circuits. The kit includes materials to build the treehouse and do the projects, a full-colour illustrated storybook and step-bystep instruction manual, as well as a scale Pepper Mint figurine.

In this story-based STEM kit, Pepper Mint accompanies an expedition to the Bermuda Triangle. Soon she discovers that the ocean water there behaves in strange and unexpected ways. When the onboard systems of the research vessel fail, Pepper Mint figures out how to use water to make simple hydraulic machines and conduct experiments with pressure and density. The accompanying story takes the characters from experiment to experiment and shows them how to power small machines with the help of water. Pepper Mint constructs a rig to raise and lower the ship’s flag and a series of hydraulic devices including a ship’s crane.

A deep-sea fish with big snapping jaws is modelled using a scissors mechanism.

Finally, Pepper Mint fixes the ship’s propeller and discovers it produces a lot of tiny air bubbles, which inspires the creation of an electric bubble-blowing machine with a propeller. The experiments teach lessons in mechanical physics, electric circuits, and physical science principles related to water and air. The kit includes materials to build the boat and do the projects, a full-colour illustrated storybook and step-by-step instruction manual, as well as a scale Pepper Mint figurine.

Over the years dioramas have come in many forms - from boxes made of paper, to the shoe box one that you made in kindergarden, and those cool ones in museums that show scenes of early civilizations and animals in their natural environment. We took all of that history, and mixed it up with a bit of mechanics and made it openended so you can make your own one – and it moves!
