## Overview

The Thames & Kosmos Robotics Smart Machines Junior STEM Kit offers kids 8+ a hands-on introduction to robotics with a 9-inch buildable robot. Powered by 4 AA batteries (not included), it features dual control via built-in buttons or a free block-based coding app with over 200 programmable actions. Designed to develop coding, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills, this award-winning kit combines durable construction with engaging STEM education for hours of screen-free and digital play.

## Description

Build and program your own robotic pal with this simple, fun, and customizable introduction to robotics. Assemble the durable, plastic building pieces into a 9-inch tall bot, then pair it with the free app on your smart device to unlock all of Junior’s capabilities. You control Junior’s movements and sounds! Program its movements directly on a built-in keypad or use the easy, visual interface on the app. Drive it around by remote control or use your device as a gyroscope. Play a make-believe robot workshop game in the app to diagnose any onboard issues. Junior’s microcontroller (or “brain”) has separate inputs for the LED lights that light up its eyes, a speaker, two motors (left and right), and a battery. A full-color, 32-page step-by-step illustrated manual explains how Junior’s functions relate to each of these elements, walks kids through the construction process, and helps them make the most of the app’s features – all while teaching them about robotics in the real world. The app requires a tablet (recommended) or smartphone running iOS or Android. Please check the app stores for compatibility and device requirements.

Review: Great product but the app isn’t available in Australia. If I’d known prior to purchasing I wouldn’t have bought it. Now I can’t get any replies from Thames & Kosmos support. They replied once to say they had to refer to another department, since then silence. And now too late to return it.
Review: This was a great gift for our 10 year old! He enjoyed building it along with playing in the app to code and create for his robotic machine. Hours and hours of fun! Highly recommend!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by J***N on 24 May 2025*

An easy first robot/programming experience. Built it with a group of children ages 7 to 14. Instructions clear, app clear and worked right away. Took about 3 hours total over 2 days from opening the box to having it move. Very worth the price.
