Review by: Sharon Heuscher ©2016 Parents' Choice
Sharon holds B.A.s in English Literature and Ancient Studies as well as a B.S. in
Psychology. She is currently a masters-level trainee in Clinical Psychology
specializing in neurodegenerative diseases. For the past thirteen years, Sharon
has focused primarily on raising, educating, and nurturing her five children who
range in age from three to thirteen.

The Robotics: Smart Machines Engineering Kit, a 230-piece kit for children aged eight
through fourteen years, is a captivating and challenging way to introduce children to
robotics and basic programming. There are components and instructions for eight
pre-designed, programmable, remote-controlled (via smart device) robots: a bipedal
droid, a spy bot, a beetle, a crocodile, a tiltrotor aircraft, a robo dog, a robotosaurus
(my son's favorite, by the way), and a catapult. Users can also design, build, and play
with robots of their own creation. The kit also includes a detailed, fully-illustrated, 64-
page instruction manual, a hallmark of the Thames and Kosmos science kits.

The instructions are accurate and easy-to-follow; and, each set of instructions is
rated easy, medium, or hard to ensure that children are challenged, but not
overwhelmed by the activities. The manual also includes a variety of helpful tips
and tricks for assembling (and disassembling) the various models. Additionally, the
manual defines and explains a variety of scientific concepts and terminology
including, but not limited to, sonar, echolocation, and radar. Each model also comes
with sample programs as well as space to plan and diagram new programs (e.g.,
teaching the bipedal droid to sing).
Although children at the older end of the age range may be able to complete the
projects independently (depending on previous programming knowledge and
experience), younger children will most likely require adult assistance with most
aspects of the activity. It should also be noted that these not the sort of projects that
can be completed in five or ten minutes; these models take time and patience to
complete and program. All of which leads to discovery and playful learning
