I purchased this for my 14 year old grandson. He told me that it was fantastic and loads of fun. He found it somewhat challenging, but still he would have liked more of a challenge. I would recommend this to anyone with a child who has an interest in creating, building and science. It was truly a good purchase. These toys are great.

My seven year old daughter loves science and was eager to open this up and play. She and my husband had a great time assembling and creating. I would recommend this product.

We bought the Physics Solar Workshop kit for a school science project for our 5th grader. When it arrived he was excited. He had to build a solar car then write a short paper on solar cars. Not only did he have fun builing the project, but the informational booklet that was included answered many of his questions for his paper. The kit has many different things you can build that will run off the solar panel.

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.
