Description

Grab a net and a soldering iron: Catch the Bug is a DIY electronics project that’ll have your kids buzzing! Students will explore and learn electrical concepts on the road to constructing their own electronic Bug. Watch their eyes light up as the motors zip to life and their Bug really scuttles across the floor, using it’s “feelers” to detect obstacles and correct its path! Grades 6-12+, with some adult assistance being helpful for 6th graders. This is a physical interactive experience that yields strong, long-lasting understanding, making electrical concepts more fun than ever before! TeacherGeek is not a toy; its way better! Kids love making real things, especially when they get to use age-appropriate tools. Kids will need a crimper/wire stripper, pliers, soldering pencil, solder, #1 Phillips screwdriver, and 2x AA Batteries to build their Bugs.
