K'NEX Education &ndash; Robotics Building System Set &ndash; 825 Pieces &ndash; For Ages 10+ Engineering Education Toy DEVELOPMENT BENEFITS  KNEX Education Robotics Building System Set supports key areas of a childs development. As children put the parts together and discover how the building system works, they strengthen their hand-eye coordination, fine motor skills, problem-solving skills, spatial awareness, and they exercise their imaginations! It also promotes teamwork, as this set is suitable for 2 to 3 builders at a time. BUILD 9 DIFFERENT MODELS  This versatile building system set can be used to build 9 different models, so preteens can enjoy a wide range of variations in their robotic creations. The models that can be constructed with this set include a line tracker, an airplane, a dog, a search and rescue robot, and a car bot. QUALITY CONSTRUCTION  The Robotics Building System is made of top-grade materials that are used to build fully functional models. Each set includes over 800 KNEX parts, robotics programming software, a control box, 4 motors, 1 push-button sensor, 1 distance sensor, 1 tri-color LED, 1 color/light sensor, and a downloadable teachers guide with 5 progressive lesson plans. PROGRAMMING SOFTWARE INCLUDED: After the models are built, children ages 10 to 15 can download the programming software to power their models. Five progressive lesson plans are included to teach students how to use the software and theyll be writing complex programs in no time! Programs written in the software are downloaded to the control box, which powers the included motors and sensors to bring each model to life. STEAMagination: Its the connection of STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts & math) with a childs natural curiosity and creativity and it powers the fun of each and every KNEX building set. Building with KNEX puts children on a path towards a fundamental understanding of STEAM/STEM subjects. LESSON PLANS AND EXPERIMENTS: All KNEX Education sets come with either a comprehensive guide for teachers or an experiment guide for student-led learning. All lesson plans and experiment guides are written by expert educators and feature hands-on, inquiry-based projects that engage students in todays busy classroom. ALIGNED TO NATIONAL STANDARDS: KNEX Education teacher guides and experiment guides are aligned to national educational standards, including ITEEA, NSES, NCTM, NGSS and Common Core. REAL WORLD LEARNING: Study after study reveals that students have more success learning STEM subjects through activities related to the real world rather than reading about abstract concepts in textbooks. KNEX Education sets allow students to build replicas of real-world machines and contraptions and through the lesson plans and experiments, gain a concrete understanding of the principles that make them work.
