This is a recording of a recent live teleclass I did with thousands of kids from all over the world. I've included it here so you can participate and learn, too!
Spark together electric motors, build homemade burglar alarms, wire up circuits and build your own robot from junk! Create your own whizzing, hopping, dancing, screeching, swimming, crawling, wheeling, robot during class. We'll cover hot topics in electricity, magnetism, electrical charges, robot construction, sensors and more.

My husband had a day off today, so we took made these robots with the kids (ages 6 and 8). They each made one from some recycled materials and new materials. When we were done, the kids set their robots against each other in a battle of their bots and loved it!!! Thanks for making this possible!!!! We all had a blast and learned a lot!
Actually, a kid did’t have skewers and told me he stuck markers on the robot instead, and I thought it was such a great idea that I made a video so other kids could do it also!
where do you learn how to make the drawing robot.

Which parts are you looking for? Look at the main shopping list for this unit and you’ll find places to purchase the items you need. I also suggest ripping apart old electronic toys to get the motors and battery cases – it’s cheaper and more fun to salvage stuff from old things like this!
We will be nagging Mum and Dad to get them!
Any suggestions where we can get a good but cheap motor? (We live in Australia.)
Thank you!

P.S. I think we had a bit of trouble sending the last question. It did not load properly, and left off the rest of the coment.
Dear Aurora,
We loved this teleclass, but didn’t have the materials to make the robot.
