STEM Kit That Lowkey Made Me Feel Smart.
(Please ❤️ or "like" to help other buyers!) 🙏So I got this STEM Science Kit thinking it’d be just some boring kids’ toy, but nope — it actually turned into a pretty cool little project. Sure, the instructions could’ve been a bit clearer. I made some silly mistakes — call it my “Bob Ross moment” where happy accidents happen — but I stuck with it and boom, it worked.There was a weird glitch with the volume up button. It got stuck like it was jamming the whole time, so I was like, “Great, I broke it.” But after a day or two, it fixed itself like magic. Crisis averted.Honestly, this isn’t just for kids. It’s like a chill intro to building stuff with your own hands, and you get to learn something along the way. If you’re looking for a gift or just want to nerd out for a bit and actually make something cool, this is a solid choice.Bottom line, it’s fun, it works, and it’s got that DIY vibe that makes you feel like a genius even if you mess up a little. I’m happy I grabbed it and I’d recommend it to anyone who wants to get their hands dirty without losing their mind.

Fun, easy build and works great
Bought this for my 9year old grandson. It was a Christmas gift. Though I sent several things, this is what he and his dad wanted to build the day after. It was easy and they told me the used it all day long . Very cool!

Awesome
My daughter put it together in less than an hour and lit up when music started to play.

Awesome radio for kids to assemble!
Update: I removed 1 star because my son/husband pressed the volume decrease button too much, and because the volume increase button is rigid/broken we can barely hear the music/signal now and have no way of increasing the volume. It works and was good up until that point.My 7 year old was ecstatic assembling this. Adult assistance is required. The volume increase button on ours does not depress and is rigid. The volume decrease button does depress. It appears to have only 1 volume, which is in the Goldilocks range of just right. The reception is awesome and clear. We will take this with us to the park and camping. We added tin foil art for fun to augment the signal, but it picks up a strong signal just fine, crisp, clear, and loud. We are extremely happy.

Fun and Educational
My son had a great time building this, and it worked better than I had hoped!

No Radio Signal
After assembly the light turned on but there is no radio signal even after repeatedly trying to increase the volume, change the frequency, turn it on and off, and rechecking all the wiring. There is a faint buzz from the speakers when it's turned on so it we know the speakers are getting power but no sound. My 7 year old was so excited to build this but very disappointed that it doesn't actually work.

Great father and son project!
This was an awesome project to put together with my son! There were some questionable steps in the directions but if you persevere you can have a sweet little FM Radio that is small, but puts out quite a bit of sound.Some folks will grumble at the sound quality but for the size of the speaker you have to adjust the sound level down on stations or songs that are a little bit louder so the sound doesnt get drown out.
