Create multiple solar-powered insects that moves with this fun-filled STEM project from Brown Dog Gadgets!
Learn about solar energy by creating a simple solar circuit in minutes using only conductive tape! Cut out your bug, decorate it, then add your solar cell and vibrating motor. All parts are connected with our special Maker Tape conductive tape, perfect for younger students. Once built these bugs will move around in the sun, and best of all, they'll never run out of power.
