Solar-Powered Building Sets

OwiKits 6-in-1 Toy Makes Clean Power Child's Play (CES 2009)

— January 9, 2009 — Eco
The adorable 6-in-1 OwiKits Solar Building Kit puts clean, renewable power in your child's hands--literally. The snap-together OwiKits Solar Building Kit lets your child create two planes, an airboat, a car, a puppy, and a windmill out of a solar panel, a motor and a number of assorted parts.

Craig Morioka, the president of OwiKits, notes the kits were made to "involve, engage and educate." I love Morioka's rationale behind the OwiKits Solar Building Kit, and hope the product does well in stores.
Trend Themes
1. Renewable Energy Toys - The OwiKits Solar Building Kit is a prime example of the growing trend of renewable energy toys that empower children to learn about and play with clean energy technology.
2. STEM Education - The OwiKits Solar Building Kit is a great tool for promoting STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) education, as it combines hands-on building with solar power experimentation.
3. Sustainable Play - The OwiKits Solar Building Kit is part of a larger trend of sustainable play, where toys are designed to be eco-friendly and encourage children to embrace environmentally conscious practices.
Industry Implications
1. Toy Manufacturing - Toy manufacturers can tap into the renewable energy toy trend by creating products that teach children about alternative energy sources while still providing entertainment and engagement.
2. Education - Educational institutions and organizations can incorporate the OwiKits Solar Building Kit into their curriculum to teach students about renewable energy and sustainable technology.
3. Renewable Energy - The renewable energy industry can leverage products like the OwiKits Solar Building Kit to foster a future generation of environmentally aware individuals who are excited about clean energy solutions.
