STEM Summer Fun!

June 18, 2017 By Ashley 34 Comments

Do your kids go crazy over STEM activities? Mine do. Now that school is out I have been looking for STEM Summer fun to do at home. Thanks to Best Buy I didn't have to look very far. Best Buy carries products from basic learning games to advanced toys designed to stimulate a child's mind in the STEM areas, helping them develop logic and problem solving skills. One of those products is the Jimu Robot Buzzbot and Muttbot Kit. 

STEM Summer Fun

This kit allows kids to create a custom-built robot complete with moving arms and legs! Super cool! The kids couldn't wait to get building. Together, with a little help from Mommy and Daddy, they put together their Buzzbot and named him Kionno. 

Start to finish the project took about a hour or so. The Jimu App made it easy to put together our Buzzbot. The app has detailed building instructions, allowing you to rotate the image to really get a feel for where pieces need to be placed. 

The pieces snap together by hand, no tools required. The pieces are easy for children and adults to snap into place. A tool is also included just incase a piece gets stuck!

STEM Summer Fun

It is also a great activity to work on as a family.

Within the Jimu Robot App, your child can choose from preprogrammed movements or they can create their own sequences to make Buzzbot or Muttbot the coolest Robot on the block!

This adorable little robot and all Jimu Robots are environmentally friendly, durable, and safe for children.

STEM Summer Fun

Once it was put all together it was time to see what this Robot could do!

STEM Summer Fun

I can't say that the Jimu Robot Buzzbot and Muttbot Kit will cure sibling bickering this Summer, but ours didn't even disagree about who could go first. They took turns, played together, and shared the robot without any ah encouragment from their Dad and I.

Get your Jimu Robot Buzzbot and Muttbot Kit at a Best Buy near you!

The reviewer has been compensated in the form of a Best Buy Gift Card and/or received the product/service at a reduced price or for free.

    Amazing the toys that are out there for kids today. Wish I had those when I was younger, I might have realized programming was something I liked a lot earlier than in college. Thanks for sharing

    Educational games are the best and I like that you can find them at convenient locations. And what fun to be able to create things like robots, etc. Puts that fun into learning. I like that.

    I can’t wait for my son to grow up. He’s only 4 months old now and I know it will be a long way before he can try this out. I myself would love this activity.

    Ha! You cracked me up when you said you couldn’t say that it would prevent sibling bickering. Ah, if only there were a cure to that. Thanks for the information on this product, though. My eldest daughter loves these kinds of activities. How cute is it that you get to make a muttbot too?

    How cool! I think the best thing about this is that the children are learning a skill and not knowing it because it’s a fun interactive activity. Way to go, mom!

    I love that this introduces those coding concepts in a fun and interactive way. It must be so satisfying for them to see their lines of code in action.
