    • Awesome solar kit!
Style: Solar Rover Kit DIY Solar Power
The 4M Solar Rover Kit teaches children how to harness the light of the sun to power everyday objects. Transform a recycled soda can into a solar-powered rover. This kit includes all the parts necessary to build one solar-powered car.

    • Toddles right along
Style: Solar Robot Kit
My 9yo built this gift alone and had fun watching it over up and walk (slowly). His shadow was enough to stop it immediately, which he had a lot of fun with.

    • Fun, but 7 year old will need help and you need a LOT of sun
Style: Solar Robot Kit
I gave this four stars because for us it worked. However, it does require incredibly small screws so my 7 year old just didn't have the dexterity to get them in on his own; I had to help. But he did love connecting the wires and helping to build it. It took us about 30 minutes to build and we loved it (that's from opening the box to heading outside to use it). It does, however, require a LOT of light. We live in Florida - in full sun, outside, it worked. But it stopped walking as soon as a cloud floated by. So it really does need a TON of light. We tried a flashlight, lamp the window - nope, had to be outside in full sun. And, it fell over a lot, but that didn't bother me because my son was then interested in how he could add legos or penny's to balance it out so it didn't fall, so that was learning. Overall, I'd buy it again - he enjoyed it. Just know the issues. ... show more

    • Great Educational Toy. Younger children will require some help assembling.
Style: Solar Rover Kit DIY Solar Power
Bought as a gift for a 7 year-old niece, who loved it ( along with her 4 year old brother ). Was skeptical that the small PV panel would actually supply enough power to drive the kart along, but it did just fine. The kids loved seeing how they could stop and start the kart by putting it sun vs. shade. Instructions are adequate but could be confusing if one is not technically inclined. I would imagine that most kids would need some help assembling the components correctly but they can definitely still follow along and benefit from learning how gears, motors, electricity, and solar energy work. ... show more

    • Easy mistake to think rover is broken
Style: Solar Rover Kit DIY Solar Power
Overall, kids think this rover is cool and it does teach them about solar energy in a fun manner. That said, the kids (grade 5) put this together themselves and were outside on a super sunny day and the rover did NOTHING! When we came out to inspect it, it turned out that the black and red wiring was not making any contact to the electrodes underneath the solar panel itself. We popped the panel out of the housing and saw that the + and - were flipped to the top of the rover when they should have been at the bottom. We popped it back in the right way, inserted the wires so they touched the electrodes of the solar panel and the rovers motor started spinning immediately. For those of you who also have the same problem, double check that the wiring is making contact with the correct part of the solar panel. :) Enjoy! ... show more

    • Hands on understanding of our solar system rotation dynamics
Style: Rotating Solar System
I’ve been looking for a model that my grandchildren ( ages 3,5 and 9) could build that would give them a practical understanding of our solar system. They are NASA fans. This inexpensive kit provides a 3 dimensional model of the individual planets’ orbits around the sun. The planetary orbits are shown so kids understand why the planets closest to the sun complete their obit faster than those farther away. Although it lays the groundwork for them to next understand the planets’ rotation around their own axis and the planets’ moon (or moons) rotation around each planet, the model itself does not include that capability. It would be even better if it did and I would willingly pay more for it. In addition, the material could be sturdier and larger, again well worth a higher price. I’d easily pay $100 or more for such a model. I’ll keep looking (or build one) but In the meantime I consider this a good purchase. ... show more

    • Great simple inexpensive fun kit!
Style: Solar Rover Kit DIY Solar Power
This is a great simple kit. Any kid that likes to assemble stuff or learn how things work will have some fun with this. My son is looking to add a simple switch in the circuit to be able to disconnect the solar panel from the motor. He kept trying to get his dad to drink a beer so he'd have a can, but it works just fine without the can! The can serves no functional purpose... just aesthetics. ... show more

    • Quick assembly, simple design - a winner if you're just getting started in solar
Style: Solar Rover Kit DIY Solar Power
Easy to follow instructions, 20 minutes to build, and worked immediately on a not-so-sunny day. Kids were impressed and are now more into solar tech (the intended outcome!). Make sure to have a small Phillips head screwdriver for assembly. There are 5 small screws in total that we used (there was a 6th but didn't need to use it). Also, the wheels are a little hard to put on and may benefit from some cement to keep them on. The kit comes with a plastic 'body' as well if you're not interested in using an aluminum can. I didn't know that when I ordered, it was a nice add-in I thought. ... show more
