Kids want all want cool tech gifts for Christmas, right?  I want to them to be learning and not just zoning out though.  I’ve polled my friends and family and come up with this list of highly-beloved cool tech gifts that bring STEM learning right into the hands of your kiddo!

Snap Circuts

For kids that love hands-on learning, this is the perfect gift!  There are a lot of different Snap Circuits sets available and they’re all pretty awesome for kids ages 8+.  The sets allow kids to snap together different circuits and discover all kinds of possibilities.  My kids will literally play with this STEM toy for hours, both using the instruction modules and exploring to make their own discoveries.
