LED BugBot

Build, experiment, and light up the fun with the LED BugBot Kit—where movement meets hands-on STEM learning!

The LED BugBot Kit offers an exciting and educational way for kids to build a simple robot that moves using vibrations while shining LED lights along its path. Through hands-on experimentation, kids can adjust the design to control the BugBot's semi-predictable movements across flat surfaces. Unlike traditional robots, this bot doesn't rely on sensors or computers but instead teaches the basics of movement and light through playful vibrations.

This kit includes everything needed to create a fully functional LED BugBot, along with easy-to-follow instructions that teach foundational circuitry concepts. To deepen the learning experience, the kit also includes fun STEM challenges and a creative activity where kids can use a smartphone to capture long-exposure photos of their BugBot's lights, turning its movements into glowing art.

Ideal for 5th to 11th graders (although easily completed by patient and detail-oriented eight-year-olds), the LED BugBot Kit provides about 60-105 minutes of engaging learning, with plenty of room for further experimentation.
