About The Product/Company~

Based in Seattle, WA, Wyze Labs was born out of the idea that high quality, easy-to-use smart home products shouldn’t break the bank. We partner with innovators and best-in-class manufacturers who share our mission and values: to create high-quality products that are easy to use and have the features customers care about at a fraction of the price. We believe that everyone should have access to great, new technology and we’re on a mission to make it happen.
Our first product, the WyzeCam, is the solution to a problem that one of our cofounders faced. He had been looking for a smart home camera to stay connected with his family with while on the road. He found that better-recognized brands were ridiculously overpriced for their quality and cheaper ones were unreliable. We believe consumers deserve better than that.
And this is just the beginning. As we grow, we will continue to launch high quality, affordable smart home products that enrich people’s lives and make great technology accessible to everyone.

My Review/Thoughts~

Having a smart home camera was something I never thought I would need until now. It is really sad to admit that we really do not know what is happening outside our homes. We know need video doorbells , security cameras in our yards and our homes, nanny cams to keep an eye on the sitter and my favorite the WYZE CAM. This is the one smart home camera that does it all. I can use it outside and inside as well as use it in my backyard to keep an eye on our visiting deer. Oh how we love our wild life. I love that it has night vision and an 8x optical zoom. 2 features that we have been looking for in a smart home camera. Most others seem to come with one or the other and not both. This would make the perfect Holiday gift for yourself or anyone on your gift list.

I give the WYZE CAM my highest recommendation and my thumbs up. You can go HERE to order one for your very own or that special person on your gift list.

In this story-based STEM kit, Pepper Mint visits her aunt who is a scientist researching primates. She lives in a treehouse in the rainforest on the island of Borneo. The treehouse is not connected to the electrical power grid, but Pepper Mint and her aunt devise mechanical inventions to accomplish various tasks. They equip the treehouse with mechanical equipment using pulleys, winches, and gears, and learn lessons in physics. Projects include a rope ladder, a pulley to lift heavy objects into the treehouse, a rubber-band-powered lift, a rotating palm leaf umbrella, a zipline, a catapult, and a trap door. At the end of the story, Pepper Mint wires up a string of LED lanterns using conductive thread and a battery holder to light up the treehouse in the dark jungle night. While doing this, she learns about electric circuits. The kit includes materials to build the treehouse and do the projects, a full-color illustrated storybook and step-by-step instruction manual, as well as a scale Pepper Mint figurine.

My Review/Thoughts~

I question everything. I even questioned On how STEM products could make or brake our youth. I was thrilled to review the Pepper Mint in the Great Treehouse Engineering Adventure for inclusion in my 2018 holiday gift guide. My kids eyes are wide open to the idea of excelling at a STEM. The challenge now is to find out which one will and which one they do it with. I thought the engineering one would be dry and not at all excite them but boy was I wrong. They enjoyed playing with the Pepper Mint in the Great Treehouse Engineering Adventure and really thought it was a game and did not realize that they were learning at the same time. In my opinion, It was a win-win.

Join Pepper Mint, a creative and skillful young engineer, on a fun science expedition in the rainforest of Borneo.
Build a large wooden treehouse and conduct experiments and additional building projects that add more elements to the treehouse.
Includes a 32-page, full-color storybook manual and experiment guide and a scale Pepper Mint figure.
Fun, character-driven STEM kit that covers lessons in physics, engineering, and electrical science.
After the experiments and projects in the manual are complete, the finished treehouse becomes an independent playset; the setting for infinite adventures and storylines, limited only by one’s imagination!
