Q: Does each subscriber get the same box each month?Asked by J W., October 2021
Hi there! The kits ship in a set order, so different subscribers will get different boxes on the same month. Thanks for your question!
No, each subscriber gets their boxes in a set order.
I gave this as a gift and the first box was well received by the child and her parents. I'm looking forward to checking in with her every month to hear about the new projects!
Thanks J T!
Both of my daughters (ages 8 and 11) were a little skeptical about it at first. But once they tried it out, they got really into it. I'm happy they are already started to learn STEM as it seems like that is the direction we are going these days. Good way to reduce screen time and still give them something to do and "trick" them into learning! ;)
Gifted to my niece and she loved it! Great gift option for kids!
I have not received my first box yet, due to a little confusion on my part. However the customer service is amazing and prompt. Every thing was straightened out with ease and my son looks forward to receiving his first box.
The salt water battery is a good quality set. Finally someone put all items together for this cool experiment.
I used the Salt Water Battery kit for a virtual workshop with 5th to 9th grade girls. The workshop was a huge success! The idea of creating their own batteries was interesting and exciting to them. The outcome was tangible and the girls' eyes lit up when they got their battery working.
Love this brand and their kits, my kiddos have so much fun building and experimenting.
Thank you!
My 10 year-old grandson loves his STEM kits, and I am delighted to have given him a gift to further his education.
Got this for my nephew and I to do as a "screen free" activity together. He's 10, so he can take the lead but I'm there to help if he needs it. I'm impressed with the educational value of it and I like that it's a subscription so that I don't have to constantly shop for science items to do together.
With this box, kids create their own circuits that light up artwork! Each project addresses a basic circuit concept, like polarity, switches, & resistors. Kids build an example of each circuit by sticking the conductive copper tape onto the pages of their notebook and powering it with the included batteries. Each circuit is paired with a coloring sheet that kids customize with the included marker. When the sheet is placed on the circuit, it lights up a part of the art!
Bertie is a two-wheeled rolling robot with a 100 RPM motor! At just over 4 inches tall, it's small but packed with personality! Using the included screwdriver, screws, and precision laser-cut parts, kids assemble Bertie in about 45 minutes. Then, using the included googly eyes and stickers, kids decorate Bertie to make it their own! Bertie makes a great introduction to robotics for kids 8-12 who like seeing how things work from the inside out!
