Solar Powered Robot Kit Introduction

This Space Fleet solar powered robot kit is a great way to spend quality time with your kids.  It will teach them learn about gears and motors and get them to practice their fine motor skills. They will also practice following directions carefully.  This is a great way to build confidence and self esteem in your kids because it is a complicated, yet attainable, project.  Once they get going and figure out how it all works, it is really cool to see their reactions when they build each of the 7 robots in this kit.

Having fun putting together our solar powered robot…

Jack is only 5 right now and this kit is for 10+.  It was very difficult for him and I had to help him a lot but I still think he got so much out of it and we got to spend a lot of quality time together.

Here, we are putting together the wheels and the gear box.
