Thames & Kosmos My Robotic Pet Tumbling Hedgehog STEM Kit 172pc 7+ 620500

About this deal

The Thames and Kosmos My Robotic Pet Tumbling Hedgehog is a 172-piece building kit that lets children assemble a real working robot shaped like a cute hedgehog. Building the robot gives young engineers hands-on experience with the inner mechanical workings that make it move, teaching them about gears, motors, sound sensors, LEDs, and other components. Aimed at ages 7 and above, it comes with a full-colour step-by-step manual to guide the build. The finished robot has a built-in sound sensor and is programmed to react to different sounds, so you can play with it by making noises and watching it tumble, roll, spin around, bristle its spines, and scurry around. Clap once and the hedgehog rolls into a ball and tumbles backwards; clap multiple times and it counts your claps and tumbles that many times. The hedgehog's eyes also light up with LEDs , making it a fun and engaging introduction to robotics and STEM learning.
