A Year of Jubilee Reviews, Reviews our 7 in 1 Rechargeable Solar Transformers

Image
OWI, Inc. - 7 in 1 Rechargeable Solar Transformers has now claimed three awards: 2012 Top Toy of the Year Award, 2012 Product of the Year Award, and Best Vacation Product. Now these are the toys I love most for my boys!! Innovative, and cutting edge! All boys love robots, why not give them the best, award winning kits! In this kit, all of the parts snap together, no need for tools and screws or glue. It is easy to assemble the 5 vehicles and 2 charging stations. If you have SUN, you have power! Love it. They are learning not only about making robots and assembly, but the use of harnessing the sun's solar energy. The parts within the 5 vehicles are interchangeable, thus you can only make one at a time. That is the only down side I saw to this kit. I personally would have liked to see a kit where you could make a couple of vehicles, making it easier for children to play together with one kit. because it is made of plastic I do have a slight concern that over time, clicking and snap...

Robotics for Beginners

Building a working robot may sound like an intimidating project, but newcomers have plenty of educational resources available to help get them started. A number of robotic kits are created specifically with first-time builders in mind. Robotics for beginners is an exciting and rewarding undertaking, and it is an excellent way to learn a range of scientific concepts. These include mechanics, the physics of motion, the use of energy sources and even basic programming as it applies to robotics. The only real prerequisites for beginners of any age, is a desire to learn and a willingness to investigate why a robotic project may not work perfectly the first time around. Basic Parts and Tools Robotic kits typically start simple and move up in complexity as each builder gains more confidence and experience. The most basic kits are designed to first teach beginners proper tool usage, and many kits include tools such as: Fuel cell batteries Wrenches and screwdrivers specially sized for robotics ...

Read their full review here  hempworx DESCRIPTION: An innovative solar science kit that encourages children to exercise their sense of creativity and imagination. It features all snap together plastic parts (no screws, tools required), solar panel and accessories. It is incredibly easy to assemble the 7 different modules: 2 power charging stations and 5 different vehicles. The transforming rechargeable station has 2 output plugs; one for solar recharging and the other for battery recharging. Amazingly, the battery charging station can bring the selected unit to full power in about 5 seconds and the solar recharging station will fully recharge in approximately 120 seconds. The fun time - run time is approximately 50-80 seconds. Similar to OWI's other mini solar kits, if you have sun, you have power. Enjoy five different vehicles: Solar Car, Concept Car, Bulldozer, Dump Truck and Concept Racer (1.87"x1.74"x3.64"), Concept racer (1.02"x1.74"x4.18") REVIE...

Benefits of Robotics for Kids

Robotic education provides kids opportunities to learn core science concepts with a fun, active approach. One of the biggest challenges to teaching young students science is demonstrating these concepts in an engaging way. Robotic kits are designed to help kids learn how solar power works, how physics allow motion and how machines function with the correct commands from humans. Assembling and experimenting with robotics is ideal for kinaesthetic learners of any age group. These are the students who have difficulty sitting at desks and reading or writing down word definitions or similar material. The ideas have little meaning for these learners unless they get to put them into practice. For example, building and manipulating hands-on projects. Building with robotic kits benefits these kids by connecting science and technology concepts to real-world applications. Robotics for Kids in Practice and Research Kids who begin learning robotics early, often develop more confidence in t...

Research in Education Robotics for Kids

As technology moves forward by leaps and bounds, the educational needs of our children must change. Science and technology have become integral in our daily lifestyles, and as a result, there is more of a need than ever for children to be exposed to concepts and ideas that can make them competitive in the global economy.
