Thames & Kosmos Kids First Robot Factory (Wacky, Misfit, Rogue Robots)

Kids First Robot Factory (Wacky, Misfit, Rogue Robots)

Embark on a mechanical engineering journey with the Thames and Kosmos Kids First Robot Factory kit, designed for children ages five and up. This introductory kit allows young minds to build a collection of wacky and motorized robots while engaging in an enchanting 32-page storybook adventure. Join the Omegas, a family of makers and engineers, as they visit a robot factory where they must restore order to the mischievous robots that have gone haywire.

The illustrated storybook guides children through the process of fixing and rebuilding robots one by one, providing an interactive narrative that makes learning engineering concepts fun and engaging. As the story unfolds, kids have the opportunity to construct models of eight different robots using the provided large, cubic plastic building pieces. These models demonstrate various ways to utilize the battery-powered motor, gears, and mechanical components, resulting in robots with unique walking and moving behaviors. By building and experimenting with each robot, young engineers gain insight into how simple mechanical systems function and learn about the fundamentals of engineering.

The Thames and Kosmos Kids First Robot Factory kit not only fosters an understanding of basic engineering principles but also enhances fine motor skills, mechanical engineering skills, visual-spatial skills, and reasoning and concept development skills. As an introduction to STEM-related concepts, this kit paves the way for early comprehension and proficiency in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
