I ordered the Physics Solar Workshop for my 8 yr old son. He had to do a science experiment for school. He wanted to do something unique. We both loved it. He made the windmill enjoyed showing it to his class. The kit is very sturdy but we did have a problem with the red and black cables. My hsuband came to our rescue and had to repair the cables to make the current go through them. I ended up contacting the caompany directly and they sent me a new pair of cables free. We have tried almost all of the build models. Love it.

My grandson (11) has enjoyed making things from this set. Being very creative he tried to use all of the parts and it was a good looking vehicle, but because of the weight the solar motor was not powerful enough to move it. His only suggestion is to making the motor more powerful. I have asked him questions about the product and will answer with his thoughts.
Awesome Product

This is a great educational toy! Even though it is recommended for children 8 years and up, younger children can enjoy it with adult supervision. My 5 year old was beyond words when he opened it and was building little projects instantly. Included project book is easy to follow with great pictures and detailed instructions.

My kids have dived right into the Physics Solar Workshop, which offers not only the fun of building something but of seeing it "in action" with the application of light. It's nice that things can be taken apart to build new creations. Absolutely a great thing to have around for summer vacation.
