We already had the toothbrushes, coin batteries, and sticky tape on hand, so we didn't have to purchase those. You might, though, depending what you have available.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02822088574795909869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3124163029230555324.post-21519191527890042412015-06-11T11:27:15.492-05:002015-06-11T11:27:15.492-05:00Hi Amy,

I've never done an official STEM program before, and I'm looking for something fairly simple and inexpensive, preferably for K-5th. I'm wondering if this might still work for the early elementary age kids or if you gear it more for upper elementary. Thanks in advance for your help!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00311738610809234089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3124163029230555324.post-24110576581168881062015-05-13T09:59:05.012-05:002015-05-13T09:59:05.012-05:00In theory, yes, you could reuse parts, although yo...In theory, yes, you could reuse parts, although you would need to replace the coin batteries when they die. You'd also need to refrain from having the kids decorate the bots or twist and modify the motors too much.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02822088574795909869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3124163029230555324.post-5523894738592465922015-05-13T08:57:32.306-05:002015-05-13T08:57:32.306-05:00Are the bristlebots reusable?
