Thames & Kosmos Solar-Powered Rovers

Explore the amazing capabilities of solar energy by building five different solar-powered models: three types of solar cars, a solar fan, and a solar robot. Using a system of ultralight bamboo rods, plastic gears, and a powerful solar panel, these motorized models will move using electricity generated directly from sunlight. Performing science experiments with each model will teach students about gear ratios, solar cells, and more. The ultralight materials make models speedy and durable while the modular gearing system lets them test out three different gear ratios. Includes 54 pieces and 16-page illustrated manual.
