Description

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. Now, kids can learn all about these animal adaptations by engineering and evolving their very own! They'll start by building a simple Grabber, then experiment with end effectors, test and redesign the Grabber, and finally use it to compete in challenges. Kids will use their Grabbers to catch a worm like a bird, grab nuts like a chipmunk, dig and sort like a coyote, and more! Grades K – 6 (different documents for different ages). Some adult assistance is helpful for 2nd-grade and below. TeacherGeek is not a toy; it’s way better! Kids love making real things, especially when they get to use age-appropriate tools. Kids will need a Phillips screwdriver to make their Grabbers.
