Thames & Kosmos My Robotic Pet - Tumbling Hedgehog | Build Your Own Sound Activated Tumbling, Rolling, Scurrying Pet | STEM Experiment Kit | Toy of The Year Award Finalist $50
Build your own adorable robotic pet Hedgehog! With the 172 building pieces in this kit, you can assemble a real robot that looks like a cute Hedgehog. The robot has a built-in sound sensor and is programmed to react to different sounds. After you build it, you can play with it by making different sounds and watching it tumble, roll, spin around, Bristle its spines, and scurry around. Clap once, and the Hedgehog will roll into a ball and tumble backwards. Clap multiple times, and the Hedgehog will count your claps and tumble as many times as you instructed with your claps. You can also get the Hedgehog to Bristle its spines and act in a playful way with different patterns of claps. The Hedgehog eyes light up with LEDs. By building the robot, you will gain experience in the inner mechanical workings that enable the robot to move how it does. Learn about gears, motors, sound sensors, LEDs, and the other components of these funny little pet. Approximate build time: 1 to 2 hours. Difficulty level: challenging.

Robots: Explore the World of Robotics and AI (Myth Busters) $17.99
The future is here. Explore the world of robots and artificial intelligence in this kids’ STEM book by robotics professor Dr. Henny Admoni.
Hang out in a factory with a pizza-making robot, blast into the past to meet the robot statues in ancient Egyptian temples that spoke to worshippers, and encounter the slithering robot inspired by snakes that can climb trees!
Robots are no longer just the preserve of science fiction. From driverless cars to robots helping in hospitals, the field of robotics is one of the most exciting in modern science. With beautiful illustrations by Amy Grimes, this children’s book explains what robots are, how they are made, and how we can use them in all sorts of amazing ways.
Dr. Henny Admoni’s book answers some of the key questions about robotics and AI, such as should we be afraid? It also looks at the positive impact robots can have on us all, from robots who can help in disaster zones to the robotic spacecraft exploring the Solar System and beyond.
The possibilities of robotics and AI are endless. With a hardback cover featuring colourful foil, this book is an ideal gift for technology-mad kids.
