Johnco- 8 in1 Solar Educational Robot Kit

Eight ways to build, one sunny source of power

Build a robot, put it in the sun and watch your creation move. The Johnco 8 in 1 Solar Educational Robot Kit gives kids aged 8+ eight different designs to explore, from an armadillo to a racer, with solar power bringing each build to life. No batteries required.

What's Inside

• A solar robot building kit with eight design options.
• A solar panel to power the robot using sunlight.
• An instruction manual to guide each build.

Choose from an armadillo, bug, tank, drummer, wheel-bot, dino, racer or speedy.

Why Kids (and Parents) Love It

• A reason to build again: eight designs give curious builders something different to try after their first robot.
• Solar energy in action: kids can connect the idea of sunlight as an energy source with a robot they have built themselves.
• Hands-on STEM play: following the manual gives kids practice working through a build step by step.
• No battery hunt: the robot runs on solar power, so there are no batteries to replace.

Good to Know Before You Buy

• Recommended for ages 8 and over.
• This is one kit with eight alternative designs, not eight separate robots.
• The robot needs sunlight to move. Choose a sunny spot for testing rather than expecting it to run in a dim room.
• Assembly is part of the activity, so allow time to build before trying out the movement.
