Solar Bugs Class Pack

Solar Bugs – STEM that works for any budget!

Brown Dog Gadgets is another by educators for educators which is AMAZING!  The products are created by STEM Educators for STEM Educators.  STEM is their focus.  However, we feel they should say STEAM because many of their sets incorporate the arts.  Their kits and projects are designed to unlock creativity in all students.

Explore how solar power is converted into motion with a Solar Bug. A 2V solar cell connects directly to a self-stick vibrating motor causing this bug to wiggle around when placed in direct sunlight. This project allows students to flex their creative muscles, while also learning about solar power, motion, and vibration. We recommend personalizing your Solar Bugs by painting or coloring the cardstock before assembly.
