Abacus VR Bill Nye’s Science Kit

Bill Nye, the beloved bowtie-wearing host of the popular 1990s educational series, Bill Nye the Science Guy, has returned to enlighten the next generation about the wonders of science. This time, he is aided by an immersive, and officially branded, virtual reality kit courtesy of Abacus Brands.

Designed for kids ages eight and up, Bill Nye?s VR Science Kit features over 30 hands-on experiments for budding scientists to try at home. The 50-piece kit includes all the instructions and materials needed to start playing and learning right out of the box, from beakers to test tubes and tweezers.

An illustrated 80-page interactive workbook with step-by-step lessons presented in augmented reality is also included. Children can marvel as pictures become videos right before their eyes and Bill Nye comes to life to walk them through each experiment in the book. Kids will learn a number of key scientific principles while creating everything from their own lava lamp to the ever-popular baking soda volcano.
