I'm kind of a geek, nerd, dork or whatever the latest term is for people who like science and technology. (I guess I have to be. I'm an Information Technology manager for Homeland Security.) But, I love toys! (Just ask my wife.) And, one of the things that I really like to do is share this passion for science and toys with others. I have this thing going, where every year, just before Thanksgiving, I donate a ton of new toys, gadgets, electronics, cameras and whatever else I can get my hands on to this local school for 'borderline delinquent' boys, the Gus Garcia Young Men's Academy, in Austin Texas. They have boys there from the 6th grade on up. Some don't have the aptitude that they should have for their age, for various reasons. I attend their functions, make my donations and do what I can to support that school.This Garunk solar powered 12-in-1 robot STEM kit is exactly the kind of thing they need for the younger boys to develop a thirst for science and technology. The way the kit was designed just lends itself to careful study and learning. For example, the first thing you have to do is identify all the parts, carefully remove them from the sprues and sort them into different bags. That is so much better than just cutting parts out willy-nilly as you think you need them. (By the way, there is a very sharp pair of nippers in the little box marked 'GIFT'. These nippers are especially made for cutting the parts out of the sprues (frames). They are VERY SHARP and should be handled very carefully.) There is a small solar collector panel and a single high rpm motor. The robot should work very well using any bright light source. But, obviously, the sun would be best. The kit says for 10+. I highly recommend this kit for parent/teacher - child engagement. Five stars.

I bought this product as a mommy daughter Christmas project. My daughter's only 6 years old but I thought it would be appropriate with parent help and I had so much fun doing this with her, and really wanted to introduce her to something more science oriented this year to spark some interest. The instructions take some studying because their picture orienteded and don't include a lot of words but it's a really great project to work on with a child. I do believe a child that's older would be able to do this own.I will absolutely be looking for similar kits in the future!!

This will be a Christmas gift for my son. He loves legos and building. Stem type projects are fun for him. He also loves robots, so since this was on a Lightening deal, I thought I would give it a shot. Fingers crossed it is a cool as it looks.

I gave this kit to my husband because he likes to tinker with stuff like this and several other reasons. The kits were easy enough to build, as in the parts were made correctly and went together fairly easily, but the models themselves were a disappointment. Each model only has one movement. The solar panel is so small that once the model moves a little it has to be put back into a place where the panel catches the sun correctly again. There's not much versatility. I got a different solar model kit for an eleven year old and that kit for almost the same price was far superior.
