My child really enjoyed this STEM kit. The video instructions were easy enough to follow, and it kept her busy for hours! I liked that it wasn’t just another toy—it actually got them thinking about how things work and experimenting with different ideas. You can even change the projectile angles by changing the fulcrum position. We took it outdoors and my kids really enjoyed! Overall, a great balance of learning and fun, and definitely one of the best STEM kits we’ve tried.

Amazing value – my kid played for hours and set up the targets in 10 different ways. He experimented with making a trebuchet and actually got it to work!!
