With a mission to inspire young minds, Shanghai Qinlan Technology Co., Ltd. is launching a new line of educational DIY model ship kits. Designed for middle and high school students, these kits focus on teaching core STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) principles through the hands-on process of building and operating model vessels.

The kits range from simpler solar-powered boats that teach energy conversion to more complex robotic underwater drones (ROVs) that introduce principles of buoyancy, pressure, and propulsion. Each kit includes detailed instructions that go beyond assembly, explaining the physics and engineering at work. A companion mobile app provides augmented reality (AR) overlays, showing animated cutaways of the systems in operation.

These educational products represent Qinlan’s investment in the future of the hobby and the industries it supports. By making engineering concepts accessible and engaging, they hope to foster a new generation of naval architects, marine engineers, and curious problem-solvers.

“Building a model is a fantastic practical lesson in patience, precision, and physics,” said [Spokesperson Name], Head of the Educational Division. “We’ve designed these kits to be fun first, but with a strong educational backbone. We want to be the company that helps a student discover their passion for engineering, perhaps leading them to one day design the real ships our future models will be based on.”

The STEM kits will be available for the upcoming academic year.
