Robots & Machines - 11-Year Olds

Check out these cool machines and robots for 11-year-olds

MindWare can teach eleven-year-olds about machines, the principles of science and the engineering that powers them. Plus, what's more fun than building your own machines and robots? It's the kind of cool project every kid dreams about and we have multiple robotic kits to choose from. But robot toys for kids aren't all you'll find - we've got model kits to build all kinds of contraptions that will spur your child's imagination.

Amazing models for kids like the MotorBlox Vehicle Lab or Robot Lab, or the Meccano Tower Crane Set will have 11-year-olds spending hours learning to develop problem-solving and experimentation skills. Mecho Motorize Kits give kids a head start in mechanical sciences and building real, working machines with these easy-to build kits. Choose from the Robo Bug, a Race Car and the Claw Bot kit, or get all three.

Remote Control Machines has two model kits that will teach your little scientists lots about building. Remote Control Animals has 100 pieces and will let kids create a robotic "zoo" with numerous animals to construct. Kids will learn about animal locomotion and biomechanics as they build each model. The 237-piece Remote Control Space Explorers set builds remote-controlled model rovers like the ones used in space exploration. Kids will have hours of robotic fun building a lunar rover, rocket launcher car, space shuttle and more for kids ages 11 and up.

The Crash Test Lab had our toy testers begging to bring this toy home! Kids build a crash cart and send the crash test dummy on a course to create maximum impact with minimal injury. Sensors on the dummy let the kids know how their various crash carts protect (or don't) Impact Jack. The Gyrobot lets kids build a robot with the astonishing powers of the gyroscope. Kids will learn the principles of gyroscope physics while helping their robot appear to defy gravity.

Building a robot is great - but the Kingii Dragon Robot Kit takes it to the next level This super smart lizard has artificial intelligence and an infrared sensor to help him decide what he should do. Make sure he knows you are friendly, or he will run away! This Robot Kit will provide hours of building fun and more.
