STEM Projects

Wiggle-Bots are lively little robots brought to life by an electric motor and a kid's imagination.

Watch their eyes widen as their very own creation shakes to life; see their excitement mount as they tinker and evolve their Wiggle-Bot to race, dance, or even scribble! Bristle bots and cup robots all come out looking exactly the same.

Propel innovation and create your own electric fan car with this electric motor project straight from the Everglades! First, construct a frame that'll get you rolling. Then power up your motor and experiment with different propeller blade designs to really send your racer flying!

Ready? Set... GO!

Burn some rubber and engineer your very own battery powered car . Our build system makes it simple and fun to experiment with your design, learning as you try out new race car designs. Take away a wheel, construct a slimmer frame, or build something entirely new with your parts! It's real DIY electronics and real engineering, meaning the making and excitement never end.

Did you know that real scientists and engineers destroy cars on purpose to learn how safe they would be in a crash? It's true!

​

Now it's your turn to create and crash a DIY car! The goal is to keep a plastic egg safely seated inside, and prevent its head from touching the ground in the event of a rollover accident.

Conquer the high seas — or your swimming pool — by crafting your own DIY boat! STEM4kids building system does what others don't, allowing kids to easily swap and manipulate parts as they try out their latest and greatest boat design. That means kids are really engineering; trying out ideas, seeing what works and what doesn't, and learning all the while!

This project is easy to build, and it allows young engineers to get hands-on experience with the power and delight of a hydraulic-powered mechanism.

​

For easier facilitation, you can fill the syringes with air instead of water. An air pressure-powered systems are called pneumatics.

Ready? Set? ZOOM! The excitement mounts as your Rubber Band Racer zips down the hall and past the finish line. This is more than a DIY car toy, the Rubber Band Racer comes with all you need to build your own rubber band powered car.

This project is born from the idea of making a mini catapult that doesn't require any glue, but is just as sturdy and high-performing as other designs.
