I'm looking for products to help my kids develop critical thinking, problem solving and stem skills. I try to keep them away from screens and the Internet and want these skills developed well before a time when I can no longer shield them from genAI. want to share what I've found and solicit any suggestions: - Crunchlabs and Hackpacks - subscription boxes from YouTuber Mark Rober. Big fan, really like these. But also expensive. Hack packs are advanced but it doesn't hurt for kids to grow up with access to microcontrollers. - Snap Circuits - kid-friendly circuits that teach basics of circuits https://shop.elenco.com/consumers/brands/snap-circuits.html there are also some other similar products out there - Turing Tumble https://store.upperstory.com/products/turing-tumble - uses switches and marbles to build the logical intuitions and fundamentals that are used in digital logic. - Spintronics (from same company as above) uses movement to build circuits. (haven't tried this, looks interesting) - MIT Scratch - https://scratch.mit.edu/ - looks neat but I'm less thrilled with the computer + internet requirement. - FIRST LEGO Robotics - did this as a kid, super cool, but requires a team and a significant time and resource commitment. https://firstlegoleague.org/ What type of resources out there are similar? Bonus points if it's offline and doesn't require Internet or screens.
