Build your own incredible hydraulic robotic hand with the Thames & Kosmos Mega Cyborg Hand STEM Experiment Kit. This 203-piece set lets kids ages 7 and up create a wearable mechanical hand powered entirely by air pressure, water, and their own finger movements—no motors or batteries needed. The hydraulic pistons control the opening and closing of each finger, enabling the hand to grip objects firmly and perform precise movements. Adjustable finger joints allow customization for right-handed, left-handed, or claw-like configurations, fitting nearly any human hand size.
Designed to teach principles of pneumatics and hydraulics used in industrial robotics, this kit includes a detailed 40-page color manual filled with step-by-step instructions and fascinating scientific insights. Kids will enjoy challenging themselves to pick up and hold different objects, learning STEM concepts hands-on as they build and experiment with this dynamic, interactive model. Winner of The Toy Association's 2021 STEAM Toy of the Year, the Mega Cyborg Hand offers an exciting pathway to understanding real-world robotics.
