STEM Toys for Boys Ages 8-13, Solar Robot Science Kits for Kids Age 8-12, Educational Building Experiment Projects, Christmas Birthday Gifts for 9 10 11 14 Years Old Boy Girl Teen

The media could not be loaded. When I say this was a "challenge", I do not mean that lightly! I have been getting into miniature building crafts like these, usually with posable figurines and T13 figures, but decided to try something a little more challenging. The kit comes well contained, thankfully, as it contains an impressive amount of bits and bobs to connect this together. If you're a fan of Legos or builds in general, this might interest you. I was drawn into the aspect that there are different options to choose from in the same kit, so if one or 2 don't interest you, there are still other options to keep you going. This is a functioning robot as well, powered by the solar panel included in the kit. Though limited in functions, it is still a neat little thing to put together and there is a great sense of accomplishment once it's done! Definitely best for kids at least 8+, but would be best with supervision for anyone under 11 or so as there are a LOT of teeny, tiny pieces and some technical know-how that would be much easier to approach with another set of eyes and hands helping out.

This toy is versatile, allows for change, growth, and many, many hours of fun. I love STEM toys. I gifted both to boys, but I thinks girls can also benefit from the learning experience. The pieces are well-made. I saw one box taken apart. Also, the picture of many finished pieces seen on the back of the box makes it appealing to try making. Maybe I will buy a set for me.

Very fun and interesting to teach the kids about it and how to make it would recommend good price

He liked it a lot and put it together as soon as he got it.

This keeps children engaged but requires assistance from parents

It took me like 5 hours to put this thing together for it not to work. The mechanisms don’t work very well and the cogs would slip off constantly if you looked at it wrong. Wasn’t missing anything but it took maybe one to two hours just to get it off the pegs and into the bags which you don’t even use it all. Very ugly looking thing too. My mom was going to use this for her class but after I struggled to assemble due to the several parts that were terrible fit there is little chance a little kid would want to do this. DO NOT BUY

Lots of tiny parts. Was difficult for my 8 year old to decipher how to put together. The instructions were not in the box. We got this for him for a science project. We tried to figure it out the best we could together. Still a fun STEAM experiment.

My son loved building this
