DIY STEM Projects Educational Exploration Speaker Box Kit Build Personalized Wood Case Speaker Set Science Electronics Experiment Kit Learning STEM Gifts for Teens and Adults

This kit has all the parts and tools needed for assembly, aside from the four AA batteries needed, and it has good instructions.A few of the panels aren’t symmetrical, so pay attention to the orientation in the instructions and it’ll go together easily.I was expecting poor performance due to the wire connections - they aren’t soldered but twisted together or onto their respective terminals, however it worked just fine even with those poor connections.I had a small class of students assemble it, and they enjoyed both blasting their preferred music from it and coloring it with the included markers.The markers appear to be paint pens or otherwise permanent, so plan on that and cover surfaces, keeping the markers away from youth that might not use them responsibly.Now that we’ve assembled one as a class I’ve purchased enough for each to assemble their own. The first assembly as a team took under 20 minutes, I expect individual assembly to take longer, but it’s still a quick project.The sound is ok. The speakers are overdriven, and there is no volume, play, stop, next, or previous control so it’s all controlled by the phone, but there’s distortion above 50% volume. They are loud and the bass isn’t terrible.Weirdly, the Bluetooth name is something about a light. The kids don’t care, but this is obviously a repurposed cheap Bluetooth board and amplifier.

The instructions have the images of the product I previously ordered but this is different. Screws don't hold properly, missing screws, requires soldering, cheap Bluetooth module. Cheap imitation of the product I was looking for

I kiddos loved putting it together and painting itDefinitely a good family night craft , it was easy to assemble, and a great gift idea for the crafty kids

I’ll start this off by saying that my husband is an audiophile- actually, that doesn’t do him any justice. He builds custom cars for a living and sound as part of that, and he’s very good at it… he’s internationally published, his cars go to SEMA, his work is recognized everywhere and once you’re familiar with his work, you can even tell whether he has done the car that is passing you by based on how it sounds. Point being, my daughters have grown up going to car shows and watching their dad fabricate some of the most outrageous builds. They love tinkering around in their dad’s shop and fabricating some of their own little woodwork with him.One thing that they have never done though is put together their own speaker box and wire it up. So when I saw this kit, I knew it would be perfect for them to do together. They are definitely science driven, and the fact that this is an area of focus that they can bond with their dad over only adds to how perfect it is for them.My daughters have an expert on hand, but not everybody does. The instructions are pretty good, although they’re almost exclusively pictorial, aside from a few labels, and a couple blurbs. The most text that I see is a reminder that this is a scientific experiment and not a toy. It would have been really nice to have seen some facts about the science of sound, why these speakers with the size of box are the choice that was made (and what alternatives there are as well), information on the electricity and the wiring, facts about how speakers actually work, things like that. I believe that a stem project shouldn’t just be a build, it should also be a learning experience. To understand what they are, putting together would really amplify the value of this project. My daughters are going to have that, but not every kid who receives this kit well, especially because we don’t know what we don’t know and although I’m sure that parents who are feeling the same way about the lack of actual scientific information will do some research, there will likely be gaps in what their children could learn. I highly recommend, putting together some sort of info book that allows kids to understand the science, the engineering of the box, the tech involved, things like that. That’s really the only thing I would change about this kit. Well, maybe I’d aim for a plug-in power supply, but that’s not really a dealbreaker for me – I just think that it’s really important to understand the science, not just build it. After being married to my husband for 15 years, I can tell you there are a whole range of fascinating STEM topics/facts that go into a very simple speaker box, and it’s not even hard for kids to understand. I think they would get a lot more out of it, so I strongly urge the seller to put together an info sheet or even a little landing page that kit recipients can view as they work on this.

My youngest loves engineering items so this was a big hit. He enjoyed building the speaker. This is a fun summer project.

This is a neat and fun project to do with the kids. Easy to put together and fun to show them how the electronics work. My kids had a good time with it especially decorating it after.

This project / kit is great and can be an engaging activity for people of all ages and genders. Easy but yet challenging. It will get your mind working for sure.

My Daughter and I put this together as a hands on project for homeschool as a quick hands on introduction to electronic components, electricity, sound, and magnetic coils.The kit itself is pretty straight forward and doesn't include too many parts as to make it overwhelming for young kiddos. The speakers themselves are surprisingly well made for a small kit like this. The bluetooth board says something about light instead of speaker so make sure you aren't looking for something speaker related when connecting to your devices. The markers worked alot better then expected. They are permanent and didnt wash off of fingers very easily so keep that in mind before you start decorating.I'm not sure how long the 4 -AA batteries will last in this but after a few hours the speaker is still working which is good. Overall its a great little project for kids that they can see the results of their work in action immediately after building. The instructions though had hardly any helpful written instructions, and even though the project is pretty cut and dry explain what each component does and why would be great for kids to learn. I have a background in IT and electronics so was able to come up with stuff on the fly for stem learning but to not include those things in a stem project seems a bit strange.
