About This Item
Description
This GeckoBot 2.0 kit from Thames and Kosmos allows young STEM learners to build a cute robotic gecko that crawls up, down, and around smooth vertical surfaces! Assembling the motorized, multi-legged machine with suction cup feet and an innovative gear system will teach children about its inner mechanisms, including an electric circuit complete with motor, battery, and switch. Reading about how suction cups work and how this robot climbs will help builders as they experiment to find which surfaces the gecko climbs best. This fun and engaging hands-on construction kit brings engineering and physics to life and displays the power of air pressure at work. The set includes a full-color, 16-page manual that guides the model building with step-by-step illustrated instructions. Requires 1 AAA battery (not included).Features
