Hey friends! This is my FIFTH year doing a list of Great STEM Christmas Toys for Kids! Can you believe it? In case you missed them, here's the previous years' lists! Be aware I use Amazon referral links so I get a little kickback (and you support this blog!) when you use these links. I'll be using the pocket money to...wait for it...buy STEM toys for kids! So thanks in advance!

好的，讓我們一起做！

littleBits (littleBits)

I've always liked littleBits but when they first came out I thought they were expensive and didn't include enough stuff. Fast forward and littleBits have dropped in price and built a whole ecosystem of littleBits that work together. This year the most fun is the littleBits Marvel Avengers Inventor Kit. At the time of this writing, this kit is 33% off at Amazon. You can built your own Iron Man (or Ironheart!) gauntlet and load it up with littleBits that can do whatever you'd like. One particularly cool thing included is an LED Matrix that you can address directly by writing code with the iOS or Android app.

我一直很喜歡littleBits，但是當它們第一次問世時，我認為它們很昂貴并且沒有足夠的東西。 快進和littleBits價格下降，并建立了一個可以協同工作的littlebits整個生态系統。 今年最有趣的是littleBits Marvel Avengers Inventor Kit 。 在撰寫本文時，該工具包已在Amazon降價33％。 您可以建構自己的Iron Man(或Ironheart ！)手套，并用littleBits加載它，以完成您想要的任何事情。 其中包括一個特别酷的東西是一個LED矩陣，您可以通過使用iOS或Android應用程式編寫代碼來直接尋址。

卡諾-電腦套件和魔杖 (Kano - Computer Kit and Wand)

Both my kids love the Kano Computer Kit, now updated for 2018. It's a complete Raspberry Pi 3 kit that includes the keyboard, mouse, case, LED lights, and everything you'd need to build a Pi. This year they've branched out to the Kano Happy Potter Coding Kit that you can use to build a wand and learn to code. The "wand" is a custom PCB with codeable LEDs, buttons, and batteries that the kids put inside a wand. The wand is Bluetooth and includes lots of tech like an accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer, and a vibrating rumble pack. All of this tech is controllable with laptops or smart devices and code with JavaScript.

我的兩個孩子都喜歡Kano電腦套件，該套件現已于2018年更新。 它是一個完整的Raspberry Pi 3套件，包括鍵盤，滑鼠，外殼，LED燈以及建構Pi所需的一切。 今年，他們擴充到了Kano Happy Potter編碼套件，您可以用它來建構魔杖并學習編碼。 “ wand”是一種定制PCB，帶有可編碼的LED，按鈕和電池，孩子們可以将它們放在魔杖中。 魔杖是藍牙，包括許多技術，例如加速度計，陀螺儀，磁力計和振動的隆隆聲包。 所有這些技術都可以通過筆記本電腦或智能裝置進行控制，并可以使用JavaScript進行編碼。

UbTech JIMU機器人-Unicornbot套件 (UbTech JIMU Robot - Unicornbot Kit)

UbTech has a whole series of Technics-style Robot kits. There's the usual tanks and cars, but there's also some more creative and "out there" ones like this 400-piece Unicorn Robot. It includes color sensors, server motors, a DC motor, and a light up horn. It's also codeable/controllable via an iOS or Android app. Very cool!

UbTech具有完整系列的Technics風格的機器人套件。 有平常的油箱和汽車，但也有一些更具創意和“實用性”的油箱和汽車，例如這款400片的獨角獸機器人。 它包括顔色傳感器，伺服器電動​​機，直流電動機和發光喇叭。 也可以通過iOS或Android應用進行編碼/控制。 很酷！

I'd really like their Lynx Alexa controllable walking robot but it's way out of my price range. Still fun to check out though!

我真的很喜歡他們的Lynx Alexa可控步行機器人，但它超出了我的價格範圍。 還是很有趣的簽出！

Meccano Kits的Erector (Erector by Meccano Kits)

We've found these Erector by Meccano Kits to be inexpensive and well-built. The 25-in-1 kit is great and includes a container and over 600 pieces. I like these metal kits because they feel like the ones I had in my childhood. Kids learn how to use motors, pulleys, and other explore functional motion.

我們發現這些Meector套件的Erector價格便宜且結構精良。 25合1套件非常棒，包括一個容器和600多個部件。 我喜歡這些金屬套件，因為它們就像我小時候的那種。 孩子們學習如何使用電動機，皮帶輪和其他工具來探索功能性運動。

NatGeo的太空地圖集和2019年Nat Geo年鑒 (NatGeo's Space Atlas and the 2019 Nat Geo Almanac)

Both of these great books from National Geographic are spending a lot of time in my kids' hands. The National Geographic Almanac 2019 is amazing every year. It's an annual with facts, photos, and infographics that have my kids saying "did you know?" on long car drives constantly. That's a good thing.

《國家地理》上的這兩本好書都花了很多時間在我孩子的手中。 《 2019年國家地理年鑒》每年都很棒。 一年一度的事實，照片和資訊圖表讓我的孩子說：“你知道嗎？” 在長途汽車上不斷行駛這是好事。

We are also enjoying the hardcover Space Atlas with maps of the whole solar system. 350+ pages of space, charts, maps, photos, it's both deep for adults and accessible for kids. I recommend both of these books and have them on my coffee table now.

我們還享受着帶有整個太陽系地圖的精裝太空圖集。 超過350頁的空間，圖表，地圖，照片，對于成年人來說很深，對于孩子們來說則很容易使用。 我推薦這兩本書，現在都放在我的咖啡桌上。

适用于iPad的Osmo Genius套件 (Osmo Genius Kit for iPad)

The Osmo Genius is quite clever and based on one deceptively simple idea - what if the iPad camera faced downward and could see the table in front of the child? It came with a base and a reflector that directs the front-facing camera downwards. Then the educational games are written to see what's happening on the table and provide near-instant feedback. You can start with the base kit and later optionally add kits and games.

Osmo Genius非常聰明，并且基于一個看似簡單的想法-如果iPad攝像頭朝下并且可以看到孩子面前的桌子怎麼辦？ 它帶有一個底座和一個反射鏡，可将前置攝像頭向下引導。 然後編寫教育遊戲，看看桌上發生了什麼，并提供近乎即時的回報。 您可以從基本套件開始，以後可以選擇添加套件和遊戲。

Elenco 130合1電子遊樂場和學習中心 (Elenco 130-in-1 Electronic Playground and Learning Center)

I like classic toys and while toys with bluetooth and fancy features are cool, I want to balance it out with the classics that let you explore the physical world. These also tend to be more affordable as well.

我喜歡經典玩具，并且具有藍牙和精美功能的玩具很酷，但我想與經典玩具保持平衡，讓您探索現實世界。 這些也往往更負擔得起。

I really like this classic electronic trainer with 130 experiments like an AM broadcast station, Electronic Organ, LED strobe light, Timer, Logic Circuits and much, much more. The 50-in-One version is just $16! Frankly all the Elenco products are fantastic.

我真的很喜歡這款經典的電子教練機，它具有130個實驗，例如AM廣播電台，電子琴，LED頻閃燈，計時器，邏輯電路等等。 50合一版本隻需$ 16 ！ 坦率地說，所有Elenco産品都很棒。

Piper電腦套件(2018版) (Piper Computer Kit (2018 Edition))

I had this on the list last year but my kids still love it. We have the 2016 kit and it's been updated for 2018.

我去年在清單上有這個，但我的孩子仍然喜歡它。 我們有2016套件，并已于2018更新。

The Piper is a little spendy at first glance, but it's EXTREMELY complete and very thoughtfully created. Sure, you can just get a Raspberry Pi and hack on it - but the Piper is not just a Pi. It's a complete kit where your little one builds their own wooden "laptop" box (more of a luggable), and then starting with just a single button, builds up the computer. The Minecraft content isn't just vanilla Microsoft. It's custom episodic content! Custom voice overs, episodes, and challenges.

吹笛者乍一看有點花錢，但是它非常完整，而且經過深思熟慮地建立。 當然，您可以得到Raspberry Pi并對其進行破解-但是Piper不僅僅是Pi。 這是一個完整的工具包，您的小孩子可以建構自己的木制“筆記本”盒(更多的是可負擔的)，然後隻需一個按鈕即可建構計算機。 Minecraft的内容不僅限于微軟。 這是自定義的情節内容！ 自定義配音，情節和挑戰。

What's genius about Piper, though, is how the software world interacts with the hardware. For example, at one point you're looking for treasure on a Minecraft beach. The Piper suggests you need a treasure detector, so you learn about wiring and LEDs and wire up a treasure detector LED while it's running. Then you run your Minecraft person around while the LED blinks faster to detect treasure. It's absolute genius. Definitely a favorite in our house for the 8-12 year old set.

不過，關于Piper的天才之處在于，軟體世界如何與硬體互動。 例如，有時您正在尋找Minecraft海灘上的寶藏。 吹笛者建議您需要一個寶物檢測器，以便您了解接線和LED訓示燈，并在其運作時為寶物檢測器LED接線。 然後，您的Minecraft人員會四處跑動，同時LED更快地閃爍以檢測寶藏。 這是絕對的天才。 絕對是我們家中8至12歲套裝的最愛。

I hope you have a great holiday season!

希望您度過一個愉快的假期！
