## Overview

The Thames & Kosmos Robotics Smart Machines Junior STEM Kit is an engaging build-and-code kit designed for children ages 8 and up. It allows users to construct a 9-inch tall robot and program it using a block-based coding app or built-in buttons, promoting essential cognitive skills while providing a fun, screen-free experience.

## Description

Build and program your own robotic pal with this simple, fun, and customizable introduction to robotics. Assemble the durable, plastic building pieces into a 9-inch tall bot, then pair it with the free app on your smart device to unlock all of Junior’s capabilities. You control Junior’s movements and sounds! Program its movements directly on a built-in keypad or use the easy, visual interface on the app. Drive it around by remote control or use your device as a gyroscope. Play a make-believe robot workshop game in the app to diagnose any onboard issues. Junior’s microcontroller (or “brain”) has separate inputs for the LED lights that light up its eyes, a speaker, two motors (left and right), and a battery. A full-color, 32-page step-by-step illustrated manual explains how Junior’s functions relate to each of these elements, walks kids through the construction process, and helps them make the most of the app’s features – all while teaching them about robotics in the real world. The app requires a tablet (recommended) or smartphone running iOS or Android. Please check the app stores for compatibility and device requirements.

Review: Highly recommend! - This was a great gift for our 10 year old! He enjoyed building it along with playing in the app to code and create for his robotic machine. Hours and hours of fun! Highly recommend!
Review: Great first programmable robot - An easy first robot/programming experience. Built it with a group of children ages 7 to 14. Instructions clear, app clear and worked right away. Took about 3 hours total over 2 days from opening the box to having it move. Very worth the price.
