The Makeblock mBot Smart Robot kit facilitates the introduction of STEM to elementary school children. The robot kit consists of modules that fit with a screwdriver included. Does not require welding! It also has several pre-set modes that allow a child to explore essential functions of the robot, such as avoiding obstacles and following lines with minimal coding. For more experienced children, the mBot can be controlled through a Scratch-based programming system and has expansion packages that add new functions to the robot. It even supports LEGO, providing endless hours of creativity.

Introduce your children to STEM in the easiest way with the Avengers Hero Inventor Kit from Little Bits. Children can access Tony Stark's full mode by building their own portable gauntlet, complete with sensors, sound effects and blinking lights. It is modular in design and customizable so that children can play with the different components to see how they work.

Children can also add superhero powers to their glove through a block-based coding system. A complementary application with superhero lessons guides children through the process of construction and coding. The tutorials begin with ease and then gradually increase in difficulty. Children will learn how to build circuits, interact with sensors and program lights and sounds.

This ridiculously adorable, small robot is full of personality. Reminiscent of Wall-E, Cozmo connects to your Android or iOS device via Wi-Fi. It can be programmed step-by-step in an accessible way, but there are also some simple games in which children can immerse themselves directly. Cozmo can recognize his face, know him and develop his own personality. If you want to inspire your children to turn off the PlayStation, or you are avoiding having a family pet, Cozmo could be ideal. Read our Cozmo practice review for more information.

The Bolt takes the best parts of the original Sphero Mini and improves it. The ball-shaped device features a variety of sensors and components, including infrared, a compass, a light sensor, a gyroscope, an accelerometer and motor encoders. There is even a programmable LED screen that children can program to show animations and data in real time. The application that accompanies Sphero Edu is also bigger and better, since it allows children to code the Bolt through drawings, Scratch blocks and even JavaScript.
