Encouraging Kids To Be Creative With Geosmart

Do your kids love learning about STEM? My youngest is such a fan of all things STEM. I’ve got her so many great products that are related to STEM. I enjoy her playing with these because she learns so much from them. It’s a great way for kids to learn and have fun at the same time. They can be challenging too, and I think that’s what my youngest loves the most. She’s all about a challenge. She never gives up, and that’s what I love!

This flip bot from Geosmart is a great product that has to do with STEM. If you’ve ever build your own robot, or any kind of bot, you probably know it can be a bit of a challenge, but fun too. My daughters and I had fun building this flip bot and we were able to control its movements around the house with the controller. There are many ways you can build this flip bot too. That way you can have more of a variety on the way it looks and moves.

This set is such a fun one to put together with kids. Tesla (my youngest daughter) and I were having a lot of fun getting this put together. There were a few different examples as to how you could put them together. What you do, is connect all these pieces to make your bot. Once it’s all together correctly, you can use the controller provided to move your bot around.

There were all kinds of wheel sets with this too, so you can make the bot roll on wheels. There were actually three sets of wheels. It had a lot of pieces so you can design this the way you’d like. I love that it came with a booklet, because we certainly needed that to get started. There were a few different examples in the booklet to show you how to build your bot. The instructions are very simple to follow too. We had some trouble with some of them, but we eventually figured out what we had done wrong. It can certainly be a little bit of a challenge to make sure all the pieces are on correctly. Sometimes you have to angle them just right in order to get all the pieces to fit together correctly. That’s where we ran in to problems sometimes, but fixed them as we checked back. I think that’s great though, because it shows kids that not everything is easy, and you have to work together to fix those issues. You really have to look closely at what the booklet says to get them all angled right. It was a great challenge for us though, and we loved it!

Above you’ll see our finished product of the flip bot. My daughters had so much fun with this. We really loved being able to control it as it moves around the floor. It was a lot of fun! You will need a few batteries so that you can make it move, but not very many. The big yellow piece is the part that helps this flip bot move. That’s one of the important pieces you have to make sure are in properly too.

We had so much fun on this, that we continue daily to work on it and make new designs. We love being able to build, so this was a great product for my children. It’s certainly a wonderful STEM product. Great for building, learning and having fun!
