    5 Stars
    Perfect STEM educational game
    This is SO COOL! I honestly can not rave about this enough. My (almost) nine year old wants to be a NASA engineer and I am so glad I got this for him. It is fairly easy to use and has loads of projects that he can do without the help or supervision of an adult (although many still do require supervision even if they can do it alone!) My son has already completed about 10 projects since Christmas 2018 and he really loves it. The instructions are very easy to follow and so are the guides. I love how each project explains what is happening on the switch board and why. He is learning so much from one toy, it's incredible!
