We were compensated with a Jimu Robot and gift card from Best Buy in order to make this content. It in no way shaped our opinions in the post.
My son has had an interest in building robots since he was a toddler. I’ve always been a believer in nurturing the interests of a child, no matter what they are, but never quite knew how to help him with robotics at such a young age. Now, with the help of STEM products (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) like the UBTECH Robotics Jimu Robot at Best Buy, my son is able to explore that interest and take it to the next level. After all, as parents, we should be helping them discover what they are passionate about.
This is why I was so excited to get on board with Jimu and other STEM products. Not only does he enjoy them, but I literally melt at the sight of seeing my child’s mind expand with confidence as he develops logic and problem-solving skills. And let’s be real, my eight-year-old is able to do something as incredible as build an actual robot!

This has kind of been a dream come true for us. As a homeschool parent, I am always worried I’m not able to provide the right tools to help my child harness his talents. Now, he has a way to build and build again with a product that is fun, safe, easy to work with and encourages him to explore possibilities. Who knows what he’ll build at twelve years old!
This may be the very toy that inspires his life’s work for all I know, or it may be something that allows him to understand whether robotics is something he really loves. Either way, I’m ecstatic to be able to give him the tools to further his own understanding of what he might want to pursue in his adult life.
If your kid has an interest in robotics this is a no brainer and would be an awesome addition to your child’s play or school curriculum.
The Jimu Robot is available at Best Buy. It runs $149.99 and is recommended for kids 8+.

What kid would not want their own robot? How neat! I wonder if Best Buy Canada carries the Jimu Robot.
This is really great! It is so important to expose kids to STEM subjects early on, and toys like this make learning fun. This is a wonderful idea that I think a lot of kids will love to play with.
Robots fascinate any child, even adults. I think this toy would be a good gift for a child because it would fuel their interest to learn more about STEM. My son used to take his toys apart, trying to figure out how or what makes it work. Now that he is older, he is interested in building things himself.
That is one amazing toy! If I get that for my grandchildren, I know they will have hours (even days) of endless STEM learning fun. Thanks for letting me know about the Jimu robot.
I love toys that kids can learn a lot from and this sounds like a great one that teaches them to build and program. It’s a great start to becoming more tech savvy.
This sure looks interesting. It sounds like a great toy for learning about technology.
Omyy! Looks like I have to take this home! Im sure my son will love this Jimu Robott!! I was amazed!
This is such a cool toy! My son would love this. It is really important to get our kids excited in STEM early on. The job fields in STEM are growing fast, and by getting our kids excited early on in these subjects, it could give them so many more opportunities as an adult.
There are so many great advances in technology happening lately! This sounds like it’s going on my wish list – so cool.
I like toys like this that encourage STEM learning. This Jimu Robot will give children lots of hours of play and learning fun. I will get this robot and keep it as a Christmas gift for one of my nephews.
I love buying toys for my grandchildren, but I am very picky with what I buy. It has to foster fun and learning at the same time. This robot toy will be a good choice!
This robot looks incredibly fun. My kids would have a blast with this I’m sure!
