Tips, Tricks & Techniques

I’m just a parent who got into this whole STEM thing by accident after my daughter asked to build a cardboard Wall-E after watching the movie. Just one year later I started this little experiment with the STEM kits I found online. 

Some of the kits seem complex however there are basic techniques that once you’ve seen them done you’ll be able to try them yourself.

These kits are made for kids (aged 4+) to do with adult supervision, and learning together is part of the fun.

Depending on which kit you have, you might need to do something new to complete the kit – like wire up a motor or use heat shrink tube
