2018: STEM Detective Lab’s Year in Review
It’s hard to believe that our first year of STEM investigations has come to an end. Over the past twelve months, we stocked our STEM Lab with all sorts of cool gadgets and supplies, we exposed dozens of kids to the world of electronics with our paper circuit designs, and we sponsored a local charity race in hopes of introducing even more kids to the incredible world of STEM activities.
So much has happened in the past year we thought a Year in Review post would be enjoyable. Our investigations included a variety of topics, from electronics to coding. We had incredible successes and mind-boggling glitches. Whether an investigation was a success or not, our goal was always to investigate STEM projects for you, saving you both time and money. We hope we met our goal.
The Case of the Mysterious Robots
Christmas is just weeks away, your kids have robots at the top of their wish list, and it’s your job to figure out which one(s) you should sneak under the tree this year. Good News – the world of robotics will undoubtedly provide hours of STEM fun for your whole family, no matter which robot(s) you choose.
We’ve been collecting robots here at STEMDetectiveLab since before we wrote our first post, and new ones always seem to find their way to the top of our wish lists too. With so many noteworthy robots available we can’t review them all, but we’ll add as many to this list as we can ’til Christmas.
