Kinematics is a modular robotic construction kit, consisting of kinetic modules and adaptor blocks, which can be connected freely and without the use of cables. Kinematics is suitable for children from the age of 5 years and upwards, and with no computer skills being necessary, they may build interactive robots which have the ability to move. Exploring and playing with the Kinematic Blocks introduces children to the world of mechanics, sensors and renewable energy. The construction kit is a highly entertaining and useful teaching tool with an intuitive interface. The adaptor blocks enable Kinematics to be connected to other leading construction kits.

OWI’s geek squad, who brought to you the beloved T3 Transforming Solar Robot, has dusted off their labs coats and goggles to concoct their latest triumph…T4 Transforming Solar Robot. "T4" not only has more transformations but also comes equipped with larger parts, meaning that your younger child does not have to be excluded from partaking in some high quality robot fun. “T4” is completely solar-powered so you never need to buy batteries. Not only will "T4" provide your child with a new understanding of solar power as a source of renewable energy, but will also get your kids outdoors for some wholesome fun in the sun. This kit gives your child the option to easily transform between one of four different modes: Robot – walking legs as well as moving wheels, Insecta – 6 walking legs as well as moving jaws, T-Rex -2 walking legs and moving jaws, and Drill Vehicle – similar to a miner’s driller/drilling bit and moving wheels. If your children are glued to smart-phones, give them an opportunity to acquire solar power knowledge, learn about mechanical transmissions, and get them outside to play. Amazingly, you might find yourself engaged in conversation with your child, thanks to their newly acquired “expertise”!

Contains over 40 parts. 165 experiments can be completed using the kit, like a spinning lighted fan, a small RC car that moves forward and backward, and more. It stimulates the mind and teaches kids about electrical engineering, gears and rations in a fun and educational way.

Get noticed everywhere you go with the Boogie Board Jot 4.5 eWriter. The Boogie Board Jot 4.5 focuses on simplicity and style - with a compact design that fits easily in a pocket or purse. The contoured shape of the Boogie Board Jot 4.5 case is optimized to easily hold in one hand while writing or drawing with the other. The stylus uniquely clips to the side of the eWriter to always keep it within reach. The stylus can also be used as a stand by inserting it into the kickstand slot. The frosted plastic cover keeps unwanted marks off the Reflex LCD writing surface while on the go and easily snaps on and off. Choose from four accent colors (red, blue, pink, gray) to match your personal style.

The Boogie Board Sync 9.7 LCD eWriter takes electronic note-taking to a whole new level by offering the simple, pressure-sensitive handwriting experience of paper and pen - but better.
