MudWatt engages kids in STEM in a whole new way, using the power of mud! It harnesses the power of electricity-generating bacteria naturally living in the soil beneath our feet! Kids experiment with their local soils and sediments (and food from the fridge) to maximize their power output. The MudWatt Explorer App lets kids measure their power, track their MudWatt’s bacteria growth, and unlock an awesome educational comic book!
