Wiggle-Bots Activity Pack
SKU# 1823-17
Wiggle-Bots are lively little robots brought to life by an electric motor and a kid's
imagination.
Watch their eyes widen as their very own creation shakes to life; see their excitement
mount as they tinker and evolve their Wiggle-Bot to race, dance, or even scribble!
Bristle bots and cup robots all come out looking exactly the same. With
TeacherGeek's building system, each Wiggle-Bot turns out as unique as the kid that
made it. They're the motorized racing, scribbling, coloring robots sure to enthrall
minds of any age!
Each Wiggle-Bot Activity comes with a printed Go-Guide to get kids started
and inspire them to make their own unique designs. The Super Wiggle-Bot Activity
comes with even more TeacherGeek building components to open a whole new
world of design possibilities! TeacherGeek also offers free science labs and
engineering challenges to deepen students' understanding and challenge them even
further, covering topics such as electricity and wave forms!
