Product Description

How do Brain Crunch Smart Machines foster STEM skills in children?

* They develop fine motor skills hand-eye coordination capabilities. These skills are very important in technical learning studies such as science and engineering.

* They promote fine spatial skills. It has been proven that children who play with toys that require fine spatial skills outperform their peers in mental rotation and spatial visualization. Children will learn to analyze what they see, perceive the parts that make up the whole, and figure out how the parts relate to each other.

* They teach problem solving. Smart Machines robot building kits are an ideal tool to teach problem solving skills; kids will learn to figure out what’s wrong with a model they built that does not work as planned, and will be proud to solve the problem on their own.

* They develop science skills. Children will learn balance and gravity, experimenting, cause and effect.

* They introduce math skills. These building blocks will teach children life-long skills such as geometry, area, size, equivalents, sorting by size/shape * They encourage creative thinking. Once a child has learned the co-relation between the blocks and the motors, they will be thrilled to make unique robots of their own.

This built-to-last construction kit includes everything you need to build four impressive remote-controlled machines of varying difficulty.

The complete kit includes:

• 237 reusable bricks, wheels, tires & connectors
• 2 powerful motors
• wireless remote control unit & receiver*
• 56 pages full color manual with detailed diagrams

You will get diagrams for the following models:

• Racing Car (difficulty level: 2/5)
• Tank (difficulty level: 3/5)
• Knight on a Horse (difficulty level: 3/5)
• Six-Legged Bug (difficulty level: 4/5)

No computer skills are needed to build these robots. Children are introduced to mechanics and modular parts and they need to deploy logic and problem-solving skills to complete the build.

You can inspire your child’s imagination by giving them the freedom to explore endless possibilities through play. Once the models within the manual have been built, your child can then go on to create their own motor-driven machines with the challenge  to design and build whatever they like. Powerful motors create fast-moving vehicles, adding to the excitement and overall appeal of the robot.

The use of robots in education is rapidly increasing, and with primary schools now teaching children how to apply problem-solving and logic skills from as early as kindergarden, Brain Crunch Smart Machines robot kits are set to withstand the test of time. This is the perfect first-time toy for learning about robotics.

*Requires two AA batteries (mainboard) and four AAA batteries (remote-control) – Not included

Proven STEM Educational Toy

What is STEM?

STEM is an acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering & Math.

STEM toys encourage kids to develop skills in these four disciplines that are essential to children’s future academic and career success. Research has proven that playing is one of the best ways for kids to learn; with Brain Crunch Smart Machines Robot Building kits, they learn without even realizing it and keep coming back for more!

Encourage Parent/Child Bonding Time

​

Not all the models are easy to build, so there is a genuine need to have some parental assistance, especially for younger children. This is a great way for kids and their parents to spend time together, and learn new skills together.

​Each model can take up to 2.5 hours to construct.

The exact timings depend on the age of the child and the difficulty of the build. Don’t be fooled into thinking that kits with twenty models offer better value, often these only take ten minutes to create and kids end up getting bored quickly.
