Turtzilla – STEM Turtle-Inspired Stomping Robot DIY Kit

Turtzilla is an engaging STEM educational kit designed to introduce children to fundamental mechanical engineering concepts through active building and hands-on learning. Inspired by the steady strength of a turtle, this DIY robot features a stomping walking mechanism that allows it to move forward and cross small obstacles.

As children assemble Turtzilla step by step, they gain practical exposure to motion conversion, mechanical linkages, and structural balance. The robot’s wide, stable design demonstrates how weight distribution and mechanical coordination work together to create controlled forward movement.

Unlike passive toys, Turtzilla encourages children to think like young engineers — understanding how parts connect, how motion is generated, and how design affects performance.
