Customer Reviews
I highly recommend Barnabas Robotics Kits. We purchased the Dancing Shamrock kit for ages 11 and up. We all learned a lot putting this kit together, adults and kids! The kids followed a video for instructions on the build. Edward Lee was quick to respond if I had any questions and I had several. We will try other kits in the future! Great Company and great product.
I did these with my 4th & 5th graders. These are more advanced with a breadboard and photo sensor included. Students need to pay attention as to where everything is placed on the board for it to work correctly. Video does a great job of showing this and explaining how it all works. Was a great introduction to students about breadboards and their use.
Our students LOVED this project and the instructional video was both helpful and educational.
