Have you ever seen a bird catch a worm or a chipmunk stuff their cheeks? How do they do it? Animals have evolved some pretty amazing grabbers and tools over time. In this activity, construct your own Simple Grabber out of Connector Strips and screws, then design and build it better to be like our feathered and furry friends. With each kit, you receive the Kid’s Engineering Challenge document for a quick Build Guide and how to set up Challenges to build grabbers like eagles, robins, monkeys, chipmunks, and even our own human hands!
This is a great educational activity kit for cloverbuds, youth 5-8 years old, as an introduction to robotics and engineering activities such as our Junk Drawer Robotics Curriculum.
