ROBOT ENGINEER

WWW.THAMESANDKOSMOS.CO.UK £38

STORE.THAMESANDKOSMOS.COM $49.95

Thames and Kosmos is well known for its fun and engaging science kits, and the Robot Engineer kit doesn’t disappoint. One great feature of the Robot Engineer kit is the accompanying 32-page storybook. Users can follow the story of two inquisitive characters and build ten different robots that correspond to the robots in the story. The main characters Ty and Karlie go on fun adventures, building robots to perform tasks to help them solve problems along the way. Each robot has moving parts, wheels and gears to teach children how simple machines work. The kit includes 53 building block pieces made of plastic that are not motorised, making them suitable for users ages three and up. The combination of storytelling and robot design makes this kit an intuitive and engaging way to get children engaged in STEAM.
