Description
Introduce children to the world of robotics and sensor-based technology with this engaging DIY Obstacle Avoidance Robot Car Kit. Specially designed for elementary school students, this hands-on science experiment encourages problem-solving, critical thinking, and creativity while fostering an early interest in electronics and engineering.
Children will learn how sensors detect obstacles, how electric circuits work, and how motion can be programmed and controlled—all through the fun of assembling their own intelligent robot car.
FEATURES & EDUCATIONAL BENEFITS:
STEM-Based Learning: Focuses on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics principles, helping children explore core STEM concepts in a fun, accessible way.
Obstacle Avoidance Mechanism: Teaches real-world applications of sensors and electronics. Kids learn how infrared or ultrasonic sensors can be used to avoid objects—similar to how self-driving cars work.
Hands-On Engineering: Children actively build the wooden robot car from scratch, which enhances their mechanical reasoning, spatial awareness, and fine motor skills.
Problem Solving and Logical Thinking: During the building and testing process, kids will face simple challenges that require troubleshooting and critical thinking—essential 21st-century skills.
Safe & Eco-Friendly Materials: Made from eco-conscious wood, with non-toxic finishes. Components are sized for safe use by children and designed to support independent or supervised construction.
Manual Intelligence Development: Helps students develop practical knowledge of physical science, circuits, motor systems, and intelligent technology through playful experimentation.
Ideal for Class Projects or Home Learning: Perfect for science fairs, classroom STEM labs, or as a home education supplement. It fosters collaborative and individual learning experiences.
