DIY Solar Powered Toy Car Kit

Spark interest in science and technology with this foundational DIY Solar Powered Toy Car Kit.

Build the wooden racing car and paint it with colours. Through the rays of the sun, the semiconductor chip converts the thermal energy of the sun into electric energy. This, in turn, rotates the axle and makes the car move. A great and simple example of how to replace batteries with green solar energy!

The activity fosters young engineering skills and promotes a sense of pride and accomplishment. Such an inspirational activity for young minds!

Instructions on how to assemble the solar powered toy car kit

BUILD. The building kit comes with an illustrative guide. Assemble the solar car toy. Inside the car, connect the red wire of the solar panel to the black wire of motion and the black wire of the solar panel to the red wire of motion.

PAINT. Paint different parts of the racing car using your favorite colors. In the instructional guide, a palette with the colour-mix is shown for ideas.
Note: When changing colors, remind the child to clean the brush first.
