Highlights
With the Wind Power Green STEM Generator, kids will be able to create their own STEM green energy generator. They will take the LED bulb provided and construct the perfect windmill generator that will bring the light to life. The provided kit has everything that you would need to create your own windmill generator, all that you need to provide is a finished soda bottle. Read through the provided pamphlet and learn more about the wonders of green energy.
Information
Our SmartKidsPlanet initiative began in 2017 when 3 geeky and dedicated parents saw a gap in the children’s toys and games market. An opportunity was spotted while we struggled to find toys and games for our kids which enriched their minds and guided them toward science, art, math and construction. The trio then knew that their paths were set, establishing an online shop with a comprehensive range of intelligent toys for babies, children and young teenagers.
With offices based in California, our SmartKidsPlanet team enjoys a daily growth in our presence within the children’s educational toys market. We love our new place in life, and we love helping young minds with their growth and skill development, all while having as much fun as possible.
I like these types of items because my grandson is very into building things and these STEM projects are buildable projects that are somewhat easy and can be turned into useful items. They also are teaching tools.
I bought this to demonstrate mechanical-to-electrical energy conversion in a classroom setting. It is perfect for this, as the mechanism is clearly visible.
We used an electric fan to produce the wind, since it was too cold to go outdoors. This had the advantage that we were able to vary the wind speed and therefore LED intensity.
The students (age 11) really "got it" once they saw this.
Imma let you finish, but first I gotta give this five stars. My kids havent played with it or even opened it, but it looks seriously cool and more than mildly educational.
Love it - student loved researching and building it. I went with this model for the lower price - the more modern looking turbine model was more than twice the cost; however, in researching, many similar looking windmills from the past were studied, so it tied in ok.
I bought this kit as a demonstration for our science unit on renewable/nonrenewable energy. I put it together at school in about twenty minutes, including having to take the unit apart because I put it together wrong. (Totally my fault.)
