Navigator

Navigator — Build Your Own Compass & Sundial

Turn curiosity into hands-on discovery with Navigator, a DIY STEM experience that brings the science of direction, navigation, time, and the movement of the Sun to life.

Build your own working compass and sundial, then explore how explorers found their way and how people measured time long before modern technology. From assembling the components to experimenting with directions and shadows, every step encourages children to build, observe, experiment, and understand.

What makes Navigator special?

• Build It Yourself: Assemble functional models instead of simply reading about them.
• Explore Magnetism: Understand how a compass detects and points toward magnetic north.
• Discover the Sun: Use shadows to explore how the Sun’s position changes throughout the day.
• Learn Time & Direction: Connect geography, astronomy, and basic physics through one engaging activity.
• Develop STEM Skills: Strengthens observation, spatial reasoning, problem-solving, and scientific thinking.
• Screen-Free Learning: A tactile activity that turns learning into an experience.

From textbook concepts to real-world discovery

Navigator transforms abstract STEM concepts into something children can actually build, test, and use. It’s an ideal activity for curious young minds who love understanding how things work.

Build the compass. Track the Sun. Understand the world around you.
