It is amazing what happens when we trust kids with their own ideas. That’s why we created the Electric Motors Catalyst: to inspire young Tinkerers to imagine and build their own inventions.

Children are happiest with their hands and minds are working together – they’re having fun, and they’re also honing their hands-on creative problem-solving skills.

The possibilities are endless with Tinkering Labs Electric Motor Catalyst Kit:

Introduce kids to electronics:
Kids can create electronic builds with their own hands, using the motors, wires, and battery pack to experiment with electricity and simple circuits.

Build wooden robots:
Open-ended play with real wood, real motors and real hardware inspires DIY Robotics for girls & boys. No screen time or programming – just pure hands-on invention.

Make STEM fun:
Create electric vehicle toys, doodling robots, and more!

A great family activity:
Kids, teens, parents, and grandparents all enjoy innovating and tinkering together.

Get your LEGOs involved:
Combine multiple tinker kits to create bigger and more powerful innovations. Connect LEGO robotics or other objects to your creations for a unique tinkering combination!

Everything you need is included, even the batteries and a giant paper work surface. And to fuel the imagination, the Electric Motors Catalyst comes with a deck of Challenge Cards with inspirational prompts such as “Build a machine that draws curvy lines” and “Make a machine that can scramble an egg.”

We are constantly amazed by the ingenuity and variety of creative solutions that kids come up with…

… Look mom, the ultimate robot!
… A project kit for adults and kids alike.
… Fun for beginning through advanced engineers.

Who knows what your young Tinkerers will invent?
