About
STEM is all around … but what exactly is it? It’s science, technology, engineering and mathematics – subjects that play a part in every area of our lives.
Designed to build a love for exploring, discovering, and creating, our STEM puzzles are a fun way to help develop young minds into the thinkers, innovators and inventors of tomorrow. Truly STEM-sational!
Engineering: Tangram and Puzzle Cards
Just one piece from our brain-busting STEM puzzle range!
Get your brain and fingers warmed up trying to build the 40 animals, people, objects and shapes shown on the enclosed puzzle cards. Just move or rotate the seven wooden pieces to form the shape that matches each silhouette. Which one will you master first – the rabbit, the windmill or maybe the running man?
Mathematics: Pentomino and Puzzle Cards
Initially, playing with the shapes may seem confusing, but look at them from the right angle and everything will suddenly line up! Use different combinations of the 12 pentominoes to tackle the 40 challenges on the enclosed cards and see how you “shape up”!
Technology: Binary Puzzle
Inspired by binary code, the language of computers, this series of 52 clever challenges is designed to put your brain through its paces!
Will you prove to be a techno whizz or will you have a system overload?
Arrange the wooden pegs so that:
1. Each row and column contains the same amount of 1’s and 0’s
2. Each row and column forms a unique pattern
3. There are never more than two 1’s or more than two 0’s next to each other horizontally or vertically
Why do some people leave the microwave on 0:01?
And then just walk away like they haven't committed the biggest atrocity any kitchen has ever seen. They probably also make tea in the order: milk, hot water, sugar and then the tea bag.
It creates the perfect precipice of frustration: keep it bottled in and it'll eat away at you, but if you say something you're the overreacting party-pooper who sucks the fun out of everything.
We realise this might seem a little abstract (for context, somebody did this exact thing at the OneDayOnly headquarters at around 4 o'clock on Tuesday afternoon and it's been bugging us since) but it must be addressed on a grand scale so these perpetrators can understand the extent of their heinous crime.
Anyhoo, here are a truckload of great deals and if that doesn't immediately make you forget about all of your problems in the world, you clearly handle stress differently to us.
