4m 00-03286 4M Green Science Solar Rover Kit – Build a Functional Solar‑Powered Rover from Recycled Parts with Gears, Wheels & Illustrated STEM Guide – Ages 5+ | 00-03286

Introducing the 4M Green Science Solar Rover Kit,. This hands-on project invites children to assemble a fully functional solar-powered rover using gears, wheels and a solar panel—no batteries required. Assembling the rover introduces mechanical concepts like gear motion, torque and energy conversion from light source to motion. Once construction is complete, kids can test variations using sunlight or lamp light, watching their creation navigate surfaces powered by solar energy alone. The kit includes all necessary parts—solar cell module, chassis, gears, wheels and a detailed illustrated guide. Designed for clean, repeat experimentation, it encourages outdoor play and critical thinking as children investigate how rotation speed, surface angles and light intensity affect movement. Crafted under 4M’s Green Science brand, this kit blends eco-conscious engineering with exploratory fun. Perfect for STEM classroom activities, craft time or gift giving, the Solar Rover fosters creativity, renewable energy awareness and pride of invention in young minds.

• Build a working solar-powered rover using a solar cell, gears and wheels—the rover moves autonomously in sunlight, helping kids explore renewable energy and simple mechanical engineering through hands-on construction and play.
• All parts included: solar panel, motor, gears, wheels, chassis, connectors and illustrated STEM instruction booklet—self-contained kit that encourages building confidence in young engineers without need for batteries or glue.
• Designed for children aged 5+—this kit introduces key STEAM concepts like solar energy conversion, gear ratios and motion dynamics in a fun, repeatable project that teaches cause‑and‑effect and renewable resource use.
• Encourages environmental awareness—by powering the rover with light (sun or lamp), kids engage with sustainable energy ideas and learn how solar power can drive motion in simple machines.
• Great for classroom, club or solo play—lightweight and portable kit sparks outdoor learning time; perfect for birthday gifts or STEM enrichment sessions with instant engineering reward.
