Solar Cockroach Kit

Overview Create a vibrating solar insect in minutes with this fun solar STEM kit. Our new Solar Bug 2.0 Kit is going to eventually replace this project. It's a bit more kid friendly and the Classroom Set is the same price. We highly recommend that you check it out as most users find it to be a better activity. The Solar Cockroach is a simple solar activity designed teach kids about solar energy, motion, and engineering. Sunlight directly powers a vibrating motor attached to the underside of the Solar Cockroach, no batteries required. Use this kit as a stand alone activity or as part of a larger solar lesson. The Solar Cockroach is intended for makers ages 10 and up. There are two different ways to build the Cockroach; either use the included Maker Tape to connect the vibrating motor to the solar cell or use a soldering iron to quickly solder the motor to the solar cell. To complete this project you will need a hot glue gun and a wire cutter. The project takes 10-20 minutes to complete
