Great for introducing engineering

Kids loved it

The media could not be loaded. I purchased this STEM kit as part of a homeschool project for my 4th grader, and it was a big hit! We decided to build the solar-powered car, and it was a fantastic learning experience. The instructions were clear, and assembly was straightforward, though we did need a small hammer to fit some pieces together snugly.Once built, we had so much fun testing it under different conditions: sunny vs. cloudy weather, on an incline, and even with a little extra weight on it. It was fascinating to see how the car responded to each scenario, and it sparked great conversations about solar energy and mechanics.My daughter really enjoyed the hands-on process of building and experimenting. The kit is well-designed, sturdy, and perfect for engaging kids in STEM concepts in a fun and interactive way. Highly recommend for homeschoolers or anyone looking for a creative project!

I used these today with my summer camps. The children REALLY enjoyed making these, especially since it was 100 degrees and there were fans involved. I will add that you must be very careful in constructing as the wood breaks easily, but we were able to construct 3 kits in entirety by children ages 4-10 years old, with a bit of guidance from an adult guide.

Grandson loved it…9 years old.

thanks

I bought this kid for my 9 y/o nephew; I was a bit hesitant since it was cheap (black Friday offer: 12 bucks). When it came, the box was small and light. I opened it and everything seemed fine. I wrapped it and gifted and my nephew was thrilled; he got excited building them, and the solar panel car ran FAST! The least exciting is the airplane, but it is lovely if you have a desk or a nightstand table with a window nearby.

I mentor at my local school and while my 6th grade Mentee enjoys foosball and the indoor basketball arcade, I find it nice to mix things up a bit once in a while. He dug right into the solar plane and the battery powered fan. The moment we set the plane on a windowsill the propeller started turning. He used the fan to 'keep cool' while he beat me in foosball. He was able to assemble them by himself, for the most part. I just had to ramp down the enthusiasm so he wouldn't break anything. The pieces are small, and while not exactly delicate, one needs to be cautious in the assembly.
