KIT: BristleBot, ArtBot, and Simple Circuits

Discover the excitement of electricity and creativity with the Bristlebot, ArtBot, and Simple Circuits Kit—a hands-on STEM adventure designed to spark curiosity and innovation. Kids begin by building real copper circuits to understand how electricity flows. With that foundation, they bring their knowledge to life by creating two simple but amazing bots: the Bristlebot, a vibrating robot that scurries around on pipe cleaner legs, and the ArtBot, a bot that transforms vibrations into colorful, one-of-a-kind drawings. Best of all, the ArtBot can be redesigned and updated, encouraging kids to iterate and invent again and again.

The kit takes about 2 to 3 hours, making this an ideal activity for a weekend project, homeschool science unit, or family makerspace afternoon. Designed for ages 7 through 16 (approximately grades 2–10), the kit provides just the right mix of fun and challenge. Younger children love watching their bots wiggle, scuttle, and draw, while older students can explore the science of circuits, vibration, and engineering design.

Parents appreciate that this kit goes far beyond a throwaway craft—it’s an experience that teaches lasting STEM concepts while producing real, working creations. With reusable components and replaceable batteries, kids can rebuild, redesign, and refine their bots for endless hours of exploration.

Whether your child dreams of being an engineer, artist, inventor, or all three, the Bristlebot, ArtBot, and Simple Circuits Kit makes learning electricity hands-on, exciting, and unforgettable. With clear instructions, quality materials, and open-ended creativity, it’s the perfect way to bring both science and imagination to life.
