Jet Works Engine Inspires Tomorrow’s Rocket Scientists

9:20AM December 10, 2008 | Sean Fallon

Let’s face it—educational toys are not popular gift items. However, the Jet Works Engine is something that curious kids will be excited to find under the tree this year.

The kit comes with 50 parts for kids to assemble into a battery operated simulation of a jet engine. They can also control thrust, turbine speed and jet sounds using the control panel. The way I see it, $US30 is a small price to pay to educate our youth—especially if those youth grow up to become successful engineers.

    A waste of money! We bought this for our son for christmas and it has never worked. The wiring is cheap and breaks easily, and the motor does not have enough power to run the parts, the list goes on! Don’t bother buying this toy unless you want a disappointed child and a headache!
