What Teachers Are Saying

“I used this product for my elementary school’s STEAM night and everyone loved it!!! The tutorials on the website were awesome relearning and the product was simple enough for a student to out together but challenging enough that their parents enjoyed it also!!! It was a hit! I highly recommend this product. All of the people from the company were so nice and helpful. Thank you.”

– Jesse L., STEAM Teacher

“The Critter Bot project was a huge hit at our Virtual Family STEM Night this year. Even though we were not in person, families were able to follow along with the easy to understand directions that were provided. The best part was when they connected the wire to the battery and the Critter Bots started to move. The families were so excited. There were so many yells and screams of joy and so much conversation. When I checked in on one of the virtual rooms all I heard was the vibration sound from all of the Critter Bots. It was great to see so much motivation and engagement from the students. Thanks for making such a great product!”

– Bernadette, STEAM Teacher
