Thames & Kosmos

Fostering environmental awareness in children could take many forms. We have identified some EdTech tools that truly help kids approach ecological learning from different perspectives. They can capture data from the world with robots, take their coding outside, use sustainable tools, and complete hands-on projects on renewable energy while expanding their eco literacy!

While it is true that we often do consider some STEM tools to be complete game changers, we truly stand by every item and brand on our store. We’ll often hear from educators who are looking for some of those bigger names and, while we know they will do well with them, we can sometimes tell that a different tech

With solar devices, we have the ability to harness the Sun’s massive amounts of energy and transform it into fuel for other devices—like some of the small-scale models students can build with the Solar Mechanics Kit from Thames & Kosmos! Keep reading to learn more about this kit, its parts, and why it’s great for introducing students to alternative energy.

Thames & Kosmos is known—at least throughout our office—as a company that perfectly combines technology, construction, and just about every STEM discipline. They have a number of hands-on kits that help kids learn the basics of solar energy, coding, atoms, and a ton more. This week, we dove into their Robotics Smart Machines Kit.

The Thames & Kosmos Hydropower Kit gives educators the potential to transform their classrooms into experimental labs and give their students the chance to investigate, innovate, and excel. Students can use versatile components to construct anything from a hydroelectric power station to an LED with flowing electricity.

Thames and Kosmos makes and distributes over 100 hands-on science kits designed to engage students in high-quliaty STEM learning with real-life experiemnts. For today’s Eduporium Experiment, I looked at one kit in particular: The Robotics Smart Machines set—a 230-piece toolbox designed to teach the basics of engineering and robotics to kids.
