Here�s something for the kids 12 & up. "Your kids need valuable electronic skills to thwart the upcoming robot uprising in 2050. Are you going to let their brains languish playing spongebob on Gameboy all day... or are you going to take action and teach them some serious electronic and programming techniques? The Microcontroller Experimentation Kit isn't your father's analog electronics kit with little springs and a morse code key. Instead you get a serious setup with digital and analog circuits and the ability to program in Basic and download your programs via infrared to the included microprocessor.
This Microcontroller Experimentation Kit introduces you to microcontrollers, sensors, and programming through 100 experiments. Build devices that use sensors to monitor and record data, and use the data to control motors, buzzers, lights, and a digital display. Write programs to control the devices you build. For example, you can build a light meter using a light dependent resistor and record the light levels in a room over a 12 hour period. Or measure and record the temperature outside with a temperature sensor, then graph the results. The number of possible experiments is infinite." $149.99

"Rubik's Mirror Blocks Cube has different sized blocks - which means it gets very distorted very fast. Instead of puzzling out simple colors, you'll be trying to fight with geometric space, which is great fun. What is also great fun is seeing the look on the faces of others as they fiddle with your cube." $19.99

"This watch displays time in binary format. It uses LED lights to display the time. Need we say more? Okay, we will. The watch face contains 10 blue LEDs that are used to indicate the numbers of the binary sequence (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32) and the values of the lighted LEDs are added to determine the time. There are two rows of LEDs - the top row for the hours and the bottom row for the minutes." $69.99

"Moon Phase Light hangs on your wall and shines moonlight just like the real moon. It is light sensitive too, so it will only shine in a darkened room. Capable of twelve different phases, the Moon Light can be set to cycle through each phase (in 5 second intervals) or set to hold your favorite phase. And the best part is, your Moon is run by a little remote control, so you can turn on the unit or change the phase or mode without taking it down off the wall." $29.99
