{disclaimer ~ EEME is a blog sponsor and provided Q the Robot for this review}
I had seen EEME prior to them becoming a blog sponsor and honestly I avoided looking into robotics for my kids due to my own fears! It looked complicated and time consuming. Thankfully it was unavoidable when Q the Robot arrived in the mail for this review. I was a bit freaked out and my son was ecstatic! Originally I ‘assigned’ this review to my husband, again my fears overtaking me. He initially opened the box and was very impressed with the contents. I continued to be a bit freaked out by the loads of small parts.
Well, my husband got busy, my son began begging and I gave in one day, fully prepared to have my day consumed with helping him. I can’t tell you how SWEETLY surprised I was once we logged into the instructions and I saw that this was mostly an independent thing!!!! My son is 10 so he did need some help, but the videos are AMAZING.
He was able to navigate it all on his own and ask for help when needed. I couldn’t believe how little he needed me!
Little sister watched almost the entire time, she wants her own Q the Robot now!
He completed the project over a period of about 3 days, working for about 3 hours total I would guess, maybe a bit more.
Here’s a video I shared on Instagram of him using Q for the first time. He was so excited to see it work!
His completed Q the Robot! He had fun using the light to drive Q around and he loved the process overall. This was an excellent project for Krash on so many levels. Not only did he learn scientific skills, he got to practice his focus and processing skills while paying close attention to the details in the videos. If he didn’t listen and apply what was said, his robot wouldn’t have worked! For this reason, I am planning to continue these types of projects with Krash. It is a fabulous way for me to work on this area with him, with the added bonus of learning about robotics and electronics!
