Circuit Scribe is a rollerball pen that writes with non-toxic conductive silver ink. It makes creating circuits as easy as doodling. We've created a non-toxic, silver conductive ink pen and a number of interactive modules. Our kits range from beginner to advanced and are suitable for individual or classroom use. Our goal is to make circuits intuitive and accessible to learners of all ages!

LittleBits

The littleBits Base Kit includes everything you need to start designing and prototyping your own interactive creations. Follow the step-by-step instructions in the included Project Booklet to create eight great projects like the Art Bot and Three Wheeler. No soldering, wiring or programming required! LittleBits snap together with the help of magnets and are color coded according to their function - green bits are power, blue ones are output, pink are input, orange are wire. All the circuitry is pre-integrated and you don't need to know how to program, unless of course you want to. littleBits has more than 60 modules that can make billions of combinations of circuits - from lights, sounds and vibrations to programmable and wireless connectivity over radio frequencies. Cost: BASE: $99.00 PREMIUM: $149

Cublets

Cubelets are magnetic blocks that can be snapped together to make an endless variety of robots. You can build robots that drive around on a tabletop, respond to light, sound, and temperature, and have surprisingly lifelike behavior. But instead of programming that behavior, you snap the cubelets together and watch the behavior emerge like with a flock of birds or a swarm of bees.
