In some Fort Dodge households, little mechanical critters called hex bugs are slowly working their way through mazes and over bridges.
Rockets made of straws are sailing through rooms, perhaps buzzing a snoozing pet or two.
And kids are painting with pendulums in an activity designed to bring out their creativity.
The gear for all those activities was included in boxes called STEAM kits which were mailed last week to 200 families who signed up for them. STEAM stands for science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics.
Each box contains items for five activities intended to encourage young people to innovate and practice problem solving skills. Those activities are building bridges for the hex bugs, creating mazes for the hex bugs, building rockets out of straws, painting with a pendulum and putting together paper puzzles called tangrams.
