STEM Life with a nine-year-old college student

Mars Explorer Drives Our Creativity

by Sarah

Providing kids with toys that encourage them to love STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) is so important, but finding toys that encourage that love of STEM without being boring can be complicated. GEOSMART is the future of STEM-based GeoMagnetic construction, with sleek designs, strong pieces and a double-secure, patented safety system. The Mars Explorer is what we have been playing with recently. We found that the Mars Explorer Drives Our Creativity.

The GEOSMART Mars Explorer is a 51 piece set that includes lights, track wheels, motor and a remote control it is the ultimate dynamic magnetic construction kit!  Kids can build all kinds of creations and make them go. Mars Explorer offers extensive play value by enabling kids to build all kinds of moving vehicles, with lights that add the thrill of moving these vehicles in the dark.

Features Include:

  • Stem focused magnetic construction.
  • Bright and colorful colors.
  • A patented double locking system for ultimate safety.
  • Strong magnets and high quality materials.
  • 51 colorful, geometric pieces.

The GEOSMART Mars Explorer set includes: 8 Triangles, 8 Squares, 2 Trapezoids, 2 Diamonds, 2 Isosceles Triangles, 2 Square Panels, 2 Triangle Panels, 2 Diamond Panels, 2 Isosceles Panels, 1 LED Panel, 2 Tracks, 4 Track Wheels, 3 Tube Connectors, 1 Tube Coupling, 4 Short Snap-in Arms, 2 Long Snap-in Arms, 2 Snap-in Motors and 1 IR Transmitter and 1 Receiver. Note that this set requires 7 AAA batteries (not included).
