Build your new best (robot) friend!

  • Made with more than 100 pieces
  • Can sense and follow different sounds
  • Teaches about STEM subjects

Thames & Kosmos’ Hero: Sound Sensing Robot is a buildable STEM toy. Kids can put Hero together using more than 100 parts and step-by-step instructions, then work through the robot’s interactive activities. Hero has three directional microphones and hearing abilities, so kids can make noises and watch as the robot discovers the source and moves toward it. Hero will also dance to your family’s favorite music and play a game of tug-of-war!

Kids can learn and play at the same time! With Hero, little engineers will discover the science behind circuits, programming, sound waves, and motors. Building the robot is a great activity for the whole family and opens the door to an incredible learning experience! Hero also serves as a great indoor friend — with the mess that accompanies pets.

While the instructions are clear, some kids may require help when building the robot. This toy also requires batteries!

Aspiring engineers and programmers; STEM-based play; experimenting with technology; igniting interest in robots
