Hexbug and VEX Robotics have teamed up to bring great educational products to children. These STEM kits can help you bring science, technology, education, and mathematics to your home. The kits are inspired by true life robotics like robotic arms, catapults, gear racers and machinery to work.
With the VEX Robotics Ball Machines kids build this entire machine with snap together pieces. Then you use the hand crank to power three hexagonal indexing wheels, which transport balls uphill where they are released onto the return ramp and continue to move in a loop.
Hexcalator cycles the balls through the machine. Once the balls make it through the three hexagons, they roll down a ramp and get dumped into a clear basket to start the cycle all over again.
I am so happy to see the Hexbug taking this important step to empower STEM kids to explore creativity and learning. For this product and so much more check out their products at Hexbug. These products are for children 8 years and up and currently selling for $29.99.
If you have little creative minds in your house or just want to encourage their building skills these are the perfect holiday gifts for the kids in your life. They will have fun and learn at the same time.
My boys love Hexbugs. This would be a great Christmas present for them.
I wish these were around when my boys were younger. They would have loved them.
