HEXBUG: Review of the “Glow-in-the-Dark nano Habitat Set”

HEXBUG is an educational toy company that is known for creating tech-savvy, hands-on product lines for kids. One of their most fun, new offerings is the “Glow-in-the-Dark nano Habitat Set” that comes with two individual nano bugs.

Product Details
This playset unlocks the world of nano and allows children to create customizable playgrounds for these industrious critters to explore. Featuring simple snap together pieces, the only limit for this set is your imagination. The HEXBUG nano is a micro robotic bug that once switched on, can skitter its way through any maze. Watch as it travels swiftly around curves, zooms through merry-go-rounds, or chases a fellow nano in a high-speed race!

Pros and Benefits
The “Glow-in-the-Dark nano Habitat Set” is intended for kids ages three and older. It was designed to foster children’s creativity, aid in developing fine-motor skills, and moreover, it gets kids to think about simple construction techniques as well as the science behind the toy. This set also glows brightly in the dark, especially after being exposed to sunlight or artificial light (especially black lights).

Cons and Drawbacks
The “Glow-in-the-Dark nano Habitat Set” comes with several pieces but there are not enough connector pieces to snap the platform completely closed and keep the bots corralled indefinitely. Hence, closing the openings up with tape is a good idea. The bots running along the set can also be a little noisy, which can play on one’s nerves after a while.

Fun Additional Ideas
Although it is intended for children, this set is also extremely amusing to cats and can make an excellent diversion/toy to keep felines amused for hours.

Final Note
The “Glow-in-the-Dark nano Habitat Set” retails for $24.99. To learn more, visit the official HEXBUG website.

HEXBUG’s “Glow-in-the-Dark” sets truly illuminate beautifully in the dark.

I cannot thank you enough for supplying these talks. I am a special education teacher, PreK-6th grade, in Montana, USA. I am so grateful to have instruction and insight from so many experts available to me. Thank you also for providing the links for follow-up questions and diving deeper into their areas of expertise. This summit will make a difference in the way I approach
assessment, instruction, and intervention in my classroom, as well as how I collaborate with my general education colleagues and parents. All that and I am only halfway through day 1!

I am impressed with your hard work and your immense curiosity, passion, and determination to execute this summit at this hour when the world is battling. All the lectures were well organized and planned, and cherry on top well lined up! The best feedback I want to tell you is I was so woven with the lectures that I managed to complete them on the designated days! I was so glued to all the lectures that I carried my screen and hands-free to the kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom to complete them and generate notes to share with my colleagues and apply them at work.

I am thrilled to see a conference hosted by an Indian parenting website that has brought together renowned names in the various fields of parenting. Not only are the presenters known, but the topics have also been curated to give parents practical ways to better themselves. Areas like resilience, social-emotional well-being, skilling for adolescents,
etc. are relevant and needed areas of discussion. I got to see a preview of a session on mindfulness by Christopher Willard and was impressed with the ease with which Devishobha guides the discussion to the needs of the Indian parent community. I am
looking forward to listening to more of the speakers during the conference.

Devishobha has been a great collaborator with my organization on behalf of preventing child abuse. She has been brilliant at getting simple, effective, and actionable advice and tools to parents. She brings together the best people in an easy-to-access online format. It is so unusual to work with someone who has a sense of quality and accessibility for parents!

I would like to thank you very much for holding the special kid's international summit. I had applied to more than 20 alternative schools all over India two years ago for my son's admission, but nothing worked out. I knew the existing school was not good enough for him. I felt frustrated and could not understand what plans God had for me. However I am very grateful to you for making me aware of so many aspects, now my son has got admission to a school specially meant to teach children like him, in New Jersey and my son is very happy.

I am an avid researcher regarding parenting techniques, especially for complex or spirited children, and have already found this summit so helpful. I especially loved Bonnie Harris’s piece. Thank you for bringing all of these great resources to the world in a way we can easily access.

It was a very insightful experience. As a preschool teacher, I can relate to the importance of the early years, which can have a lifelong impact on our children. Thank you for bringing us to this summit.
