Solar car building set was both fun and educational. The instructions were easy to follow, and it kept my child engaged. Seeing the car run on solar power was exciting and rewarding. A great hands-on project and an excellent gift for kids ages 8–14 who love to build and learn. Highly recommend!

I bought this STEM kit primarily for the solar car. Of the various solar cars I have bought from Amazon this is the best all-round. It has grippy wheels that roll freely, a wide base for stability, and the solar panel is large compared to the total body weight, so the car will move even when there is not enough direct sunlight for some others. The "propeller" car is also fun (but could do with tidier wiring), and the plane works in so much as the propeller turns when the solar panel is in sunlight. I have not assembled the battery fan.

My son loves this, we sit together and build a new kit each week. I know it says for kids 8+, but this is excellent for younger kids too! The pieces can be a little tricky for small hands to connect together, but it's good tactile learning and an opportunity for them to have the joy and pride of building a working machine themselves. The instructions are very well done, we go through them together and he takes the lead in finding what changes in each picture, what part is involved, and where it needs to go to make progress. Watching his confidence grow in both building with his hands and also communicating what he understands and what he thinks should be done next is very rewarding. The whole kit is a fantastic price, after a couple months the kits have held up great with nothing breaking despite regular play and work exactly as they should and the first set of batteries are still lasting. I especially love the airplane, we have it on a window in the sunshine and any time of the day it's just happily spinning the propeller.

Cannot sing enough praises. What an awesome STEM kit, especially for the price. Everything worked, all prices were there, instructions were easy enough for my 7 and 11 year olds to follow, and both kids were so pleased with the end products. Each build took 15-30 minutes (enough time to hold their interest in one sitting). We are now shopping for more from this company.

Great purchase My 11 year old loved it , kept him engaged and he loved the finished results Age appropriate, and instructions were good and thorough

I purchased this STEM kit as part of a homeschool project for my 4th grader, and it was a big hit! We decided to build the solar-powered car, and it was a fantastic learning experience. The instructions were clear, and assembly was straightforward, though we did need a small hammer to fit some pieces together snugly. Once built, we had so much fun testing it under different conditions: sunny vs. cloudy weather, on an incline, and even with a little extra weight on it. It was fascinating to see how the car responded to each scenario, and it sparked great conversations about solar energy and mechanics. My daughter really enjoyed the hands-on process of building and experimenting. The kit is well-designed, sturdy, and perfect for engaging kids in STEM concepts in a fun and interactive way. Highly recommend for homeschoolers or anyone looking for a creative project!

Great kit to start kids off in steam projects

My grandson was very excited about the kit.

It is a good present for young curious minds. Except it is smaller than I thought.
