My Project

Help bring some exploration into creative thinking while reinforcing circuits and electricity concepts. Hoping that we can culminate our magnets and electricity unit by making these Critterbots.

This is a fun and unique project that integrates art and technology that will engage and excite students, and push creativity.

The kit has patterns of its own, but I would open it up for students to create their own character. Would love to have enough for students to be able to each have their own and not have to share. Thank you for supporting the STEAM Lab.
