Fun, education and science for children, these are STEM toys.

What is it about and how does it relate to the world of games and toys? What is STEM?

This term (or previously SMET) originated in the early 1990s in the United States as a study program of the Center for the Advancement of Hispanics in Science and Engineering Education (CAHSEE). The program was successfully introduced and sponsored by NASA at many American educational institutions and universities. Later, the program was incorporated into the programs and strategies of American government institutions. In the next decade, the program with its already established acronym and in various variants, modifications, and additions spread worldwide:

S – Science (science), T – Technology (technology), E – Engineering (engineering), M – Mathematic (mathematics).

In reality, these are exactly the areas of interest for KINT in line with our mission and vision. Therefore, in sales, we focus on these products for children, i.e., to bring science, technology, engineering, and mathematics closer to children.

Toys and entertainment = education and science

We enjoy science and technology, and we consider this topic very important for the sustainable development of our future, that is, the future of people. We consider it important to popularize science and technology at an early age, so that children get an idea of ​​how things work from an early age.

Mobile phones and interactive electronics are a current trend that kids enjoy. Parents, on the other hand, are struggling with how to get their children away from screens, phones, and displays. Especially since we already know that excessive passive use of technology impacts human thinking and IQ, and this is proven on a physiological level, as described by neurologist Jan Martin Stránský in an interview on iRozhlas. But should we ban technology for children? Wouldn’t it be better to teach them how to use technology properly and explain how it works? For example, as discussed in this article on idnes.cz. In any case, technology is among us and drives our society and its efficiency forward. Likewise, children need to learn it, but they must also understand its essence.

Alongside the abstract, cybernetic world, it is also necessary to understand the physical and chemical nature of the world. How can modern technologies control and, in some processes, replace humans if they do not respect physics or chemistry? Not everything can just be programmed; we must also understand the causes and effects of the real world. Therefore, it is important to support this direction.

However, children primarily want to have fun, and knowledge should be a natural part of a person, just like the desire to explore, which is simply fun. This is exactly what STEM toys are about—supporting creativity, fulfilling the desire for discovery, and learning through play. They stimulate the mind, are enjoyable, and help children understand the world. In addition to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, we also consider the development of skills and creativity important. Therefore, we also include craftsmanship in our portfolio. It doesn’t matter which direction a child takes; what matters is that it excites them, and while doing so, they discover the world, learn, and explore. All of this is designed to keep them engaged in the activity and be able to return to it, maintaining their attention.

Where to choose

There are many products for children, of course, of varying quality. That’s why we’ve prepared an online store for children, Toys KINT. KIDS KINT offers products for children from 3 to 18 years old. You can choose from categories like Chemistry, Electronics, Archaeology, Astronomy, Robotics, Nature and Discoveries, Craft. We aim to sell products that are in stock, ensuring quick delivery and efficient order processing and customer inquiries. We will gradually expand the range with other verified products that we consider suitable in line with the philosophy of this article.
For example, you can try a chemistry laboratory with the possibility of up to two hundred experiments

or let the children make their own rocket and launch it up to 15 meters high

or they can even build their own working robot

and for the little ones, let the kids build their own remote control fire engine 🙂

We would of course be very happy if you rate our store, comment on some of the products, or even visit and “like” our Facebook page at Facebook. We would also greatly appreciate any contributions you make on any social platform, here, or perhaps in the form of a link on any website. In addition to all of this, we will continue to develop activities within sections where we will introduce KINT news, as well as new technologies, scientific findings, and possibly educational apps and games for children.
