Gigo Toys STEM Kit Robot Factory Genius Toy 5 years+ plastic 117 pieces

The Robot Factory STEM kit from Gigo Toys, a Genius Toy brand, is an introductory mechanical engineering set for children aged 5 and up. The set allows for the construction of a series of motorized and slightly wacky robots, helping little ones discover how simple mechanical systems work through play and experimentation. It is a product in the Science and Experiments (STEM) category, designed to lay the foundation for solid STEM-related skills at an early age.

In the box, you will find a beautifully illustrated 32-page storybook, which focuses on the adventures of the Omegas family, the family of creators and engineers featured in all Kids First early engineering kits. The story takes the characters to a robot factory where the robots have gone slightly out of control, and one by one, the robots are repaired and put back into working order. As they follow the story, children can build eight robot models and experiment with them to see how each one uses the battery-powered motor, gears, and other mechanical parts.

Each robot moves its arms or legs in a different way, creating fun walking and movement behaviors and teaching children how simple mechanical systems work. The large, chunky plastic building pieces make it easy for small hands to assemble the models. The set contains 117 pieces, 8 models, and an instruction manual, offering an engaging way to teach simple engineering concepts to young children and allowing adults to guide them step-by-step.

Building the models and performing the experiments develop fine motor skills, mechanical engineering skills, visual-spatial skills, as well as reasoning and concept development skills. The kit is made of plastic. It requires 2 AA / LR06 batteries, which are not included. The product is manufactured in Taiwan by Genius Toy. Adult supervision is recommended during play, and instructions should be read before use.
