Meccano M.A.X. is a robotics building set that produces an impressive, 12-inch tall robot with almost human-like qualities. And with nearly 350 parts to assemble, the patience, concentration, and care kids bring to bear in putting M.A.X. together yield a great many rewards. One of the final steps is to download M.A.X.'s mind into the MeccaBrain, a unit situated front and center on his torso that connects to all his hardware. Once awakened, the highly mobile M.A.X. learns and grows through playful interactions with his human companions. M.A.X. displays a great sense of humor and loads of personality through verbalizations and highly expressive facial graphics. The more M.A.X. is played with, the more features are unlocked. In addition to being controllable via buttons on the MeccaBrain or through the free app, M.A.X. responds to numerous voice commands. These and other customizable functions make Meccano M.A.X. an outstanding and engaging learning tool through which kids readily enhance their S.T.E.M. skills (science, technology, engineering and math).
