Jumperbot What a curiosity. We suspect kids might be more enthralled with how this robot moves than the robot itself. They’ll watch him crouch down, compress the spring loaded metal coil spring–then release the stored energy in a jumping burst! They can build six other ideas that bring science principles to life–a sideways-moving crab, a kicking machine, a grappler claw and a carnival ride! A full-color booklet guides the way. Ages 8-12 yrs • #620363 • $49.99 Geek & Co. Musical UFO Remember that eerie music played in old-time horror movies? Then you know what a theremin sounds like. The pitch is controlled by the movement of an open hand–and now, kids can build one! A light sensor inside the UFO’s dome behaves just like a theremin, to create a symphony of electronic sounds. Kids learn about circuits and sensors while enjoying the “music” they’ve composed. Ages 8-12 yrs • #550008 • $19.99 Warning: Contains chemicals, adult supervision suggested.
