It’s about time they came up with a transformer toy that actually ‘does’ something. The 6 in 1 Educational Solar Kit, an excellent beginner building kit designed to teach how solar power is used to drive a small motor. Kids use the 33 snap together parts (no tools required) to build six different working models including an airboat, windmill, puppy, and two different planes.
It’s very inexpensive [under $20 bucks], clear easy to follow instructions, a great self-contained take-home project, challenges young people to be technically precise with miniature parts and hours of fun experimenting with solar energy.
