Remote-Control Machines: Space Explorers for Parents' Choice Gold Award Winner

Build a Remote-Controlled Robotic Rover and Explore the Cosmos with This Engineering Kit

Get ready to embark on a captivating mission to the moon, Mars, or beyond with this engineering kit that allows you to construct a remote-controlled model of a robotic Rover resembling the ones used to explore the Martian landscape. This 237-piece construction set includes instructions to build not only the robot Rover, but nine additional space-themed models as well, including a lunar Rover, rocket launcher car, space shuttle with opening and closing cargo bay doors, robotic space shuttle payload arm, moon lander, wacky Astronaut, satellite, Mars station, and cross-wing flyer.

A full-color, 64-page step-by-step illustrated manual guides kids through the assembly of all the models, while also teaching them about the real-world examples of the outer space robots, vehicles, and devices they are creating. Kids will be inspired to learn various STEM skills, including the structure and properties of matter, engineering design, forces and interactions, and energy, as they engage in these fun, hands-on construction projects that bridge their fascination with robots and outer space.

The remote control unit allows you to take command of the Rover, maneuvering it back and forth, steering the wheels, and controlling the robotic arm to pick up extraterrestrial specimens like small rocks. Unleash your Rover in the backyard or sandbox and explore the uncharted terrain, just like the real-life rovers that have traversed the Martian surface.

Delve into the fascinating history of Mars exploration, learn about the role of robotics in satellites and deep-space exploration, and discover the influence of space-related science fiction on the development of these technologies. This kit is the perfect gift for any child who dreams of becoming an astronaut, colonizing the Moon, or being the first human to set foot on Mars.

Recognized for its excellence, this engineering kit is a Parents' Choice Gold Award winner, ensuring a rewarding and enriching STEM-based learning experience for young explorers.
