Most 3D wooden puzzles have the same ending. You spend a couple of hours carefully assembling dozens of tiny pieces, admire the finished model… and then it sits on a shelf. This one has a slightly better trick. The Snap-Fit Solar 3D Wooden Puzzle combines an 80+ piece wooden construction kit with a small solar-powered […]
Solar power is one of those technologies that’s simultaneously incredibly advanced and surprisingly easy to demonstrate. Sunlight hits a solar panel. Electricity is generated. Connect that electricity to a motor. Something moves. The Engino Discovering STEM: Solar Power kit takes that basic idea and turns it into a hands-on building system where kids can construct […]
LEGO is already pretty good at teaching you how things fit together. Add motors, gears, sensors, and renewable energy into the equation, though, and it becomes something much more interesting. The LEGO Education Renewable Energy Add-On Set 9688 is designed to let students experiment with solar, wind, and water power using actual working LEGO components, […]
Portable solar panels have become surprisingly practical. We’re no longer talking about giant panels that need to live permanently on a roof. Something like the SOLUPUP 30W Portable Foldable Solar Charger weighs just 2.4 pounds, folds small enough to fit inside a backpack, and gives you USB-A and USB-C charging almost anywhere you can find […]
Solar gadgets don’t always have to be about generating as much electricity as possible. Sometimes, a tiny solar panel, a few LEDs, and some clever design are enough to make an outdoor space significantly more interesting. That’s basically the idea behind the Toodour Solar Wind Chimes. During the day, they look like decorative maple leaves […]
Hydropower is one of those technologies that sounds incredibly simple. Water moves. A turbine spins. Electricity comes out. But there’s a surprising amount of engineering and physics happening between those three steps. And the Thames & Kosmos Hydropower Science Kit lets kids actually build small-scale versions of these systems instead of just reading about them. […]
Solar panels, wind turbines, electric cars. Kids are going to grow up in a world surrounded by technologies that fundamentally change how we produce and use energy. So instead of just reading about renewable energy in a textbook, why not actually build some of it? That’s the idea behind the Thames & Kosmos Renewable Energy […]
Battery-powered security cameras are incredibly convenient. Right up until you have to charge them. If your Ring camera is mounted somewhere high, awkward, or simply far away from a power outlet, taking the battery out every few weeks can get old pretty quickly. That’s exactly what the Ring Solar Panel (2nd Generation) is designed to […]
Most smart security cameras have one major weakness. They depend on Wi-Fi. And the moment you want to monitor a remote gate, a farm, a construction site, a cabin, or an RV storage lot, Wi-Fi usually isn’t available. Running power cables and networking equipment can quickly become more expensive than the camera itself. The TACTACAM […]
