What they'll learn

Three builds, four big ideas

Each one demonstrated by something you can set off yourself.

Conditional response

A sensor spots movement and sounds the alarm.

Environmental sensing

A sensor detects water and warns you.

Input/output

Buzzers, LEDs and boards working together.

Energy transfer

Power crossing a gap with nothing connecting it.

What's in the box

Everything for all three builds, sorted and ready

  • 3× sets of precision-cut wooden components
  • 1× infrared (IR) sensor board
  • 1× rain sensor board
  • 2× acousto-optic control boards
  • 2× buzzer + LED modules
  • 1× LED lamp module
  • 1× AC rectifier board
  • 1× copper wire & 2× hand-wound coils
  • 2× 3P Dupont wires
  • 3× battery boxes (2×AA + 3×AA + 3×AA)
  • 3× illustrated English manuals
  • 54× screws and 4× cable ties, the assembly hardware for all three builds

Batteries: 8 × AA in total across the three builds, not included. Each build has its own battery box, so all three can run at the same time.

How this build works

See electronics in action

Build the circuit, switch it on, and understand the science by watching it work.

Build

Three separate builds, each with its own manual. The sensor builds connect with plug-in 3P Dupont wires, so there is no soldering at any point.

Play

Trigger the infrared alarm. Drip water on the rain sensor. Light the lamp across the coil gap.

Experiment

Slide the lamp further from the transmitter coil and watch it dim, then bring it back and watch it brighten. One variable, an immediate visible result.

Where to start

Master the basics first

Work your way up. All three projects are in the box, and each one you finish unlocks the know-how for the next, ending with the copper coils you wind yourself.

Educator & Procurement Resources

Essential information for classroom integration and school purchasing.

Every kit starts as a box of parts and turns into something kids can actually use. Making that happen means following directions and fixing mistakes along the way. They're tackling real engineering challenges, but to them, it just feels like play.

Each house in this pack answers a different question, so run all three as one investigation. Rain Sensor House: check it dry, add a few drops of water to the sensor on the roof and note whether the alarm goes off, then dry it and try again. Object Immobilizer: place an object in front of the sensor, move it further away a little at a time and note when the alarm starts, then try a different surface at the same distance. Wireless Power Transmission: compare two coil positions the manual allows and note whether the lamp lights. What it shows: each kit turns one change in the world into a light or a sound, and each sensor only notices one specific thing.
Whether you're exploring circuits in a science lab, tackling gears in a makerspace, or learning at home on the living room table, these kits fit right in. One quick tip if you're building a whole class set: build one kit yourself first, so you know where students are likely to need a hand.

Reviews

Nothing here yet — and we'd rather say so

Verified reviews will appear on this page as soon as the first Balancing Robots are built at home and in classrooms. We don't carry ratings over from other kits in the range, and we don't publish anything that isn't from a verified buyer.

If you've built this one with your class, we'd like to hear how it went — what worked, what didn't, and what you'd change.

Questions, answered

Before you build

The Object Immobilizer is an anti-theft box: an infrared sensor detects movement and sets off a red LED and a buzzer. The Rain Sensor House is a wooden cottage whose roof-mounted sensor detects water droplets and triggers visual and audible alerts. Wireless Power Transmission is a Tesla-inspired pair of hand-wound copper coils that light an LED lamp across an air gap, with no direct electrical connection between them.
No. You will need 8 × AA batteries in total: 3 for the Object Immobilizer, 2 for the Rain Sensor House and 3 for Wireless Power Transmission. Each build has its own battery box, so all three can be powered and demonstrated side by side.
It suits ages 8 to 11. No prior electronics experience is needed: the boards plug together with the wires supplied, and each build has its own step-by-step manual. Younger builders will get on fine with an adult alongside them.
E2K Beginner Builders kits are designed to fit a single session, at around 15–30 minutes per build. With three builds in the pack, that gives you three separate sessions from one box, or one longer workshop if you'd rather run them together.
