Thames & Kosmos offers products rich in educational value that introduce children to chemistry, biology, physics, engineering, electricity, and the natural sciences. The brand’s mission is to teach children various sciences in an engaging and fun way through real, hands-on activities and projects, helping them understand how things around them work.

Geckobot is a STEM engineering and physics kit that allows children to build a gecko robot. Using a built-in motorized air pump and suction system, the robot can move across smooth vertical surfaces such as glass, plastic, whiteboards, and laminate. While assembling the kit, children learn about electrical circuits, motors, batteries, switches, and gear mechanisms, as well as the principles of suction cups and air pressure. It comes with a 16-page full-color manual featuring step-by-step assembly instructions and scientific explanations. The kit fosters logical thinking and fine motor skill development while offering a hands-on introduction to engineering and physics.

Thames & Kosmos was founded in 2001 by a science museum director and her son, who saw the great need and demand for better science education materials that are more engaging, more effective, more relevant, and more fun.

Thames & Kosmos mission is to improve informal science education. Their vision is to give all children access to real, physical activities and projects that teach them about how things work; It is our firm belief that children who connect with the world around them grow up to be inquisitive adults, creative thinkers, and engaged citizens with confidence to pursue careers in science, technology, and engineering.

The science kits are organized into thirteen categories: Chemistry, Physics, Alternative Energy, Electrical Science, Biology, Earth Science & Natural History, Multi-Subject, Astronomy & Space, Historical Science, Construction+Engineering, Robotics, Crystals & Materials, and Arts & Crafts.
