Piper Computer Kit

Does your child love Minecraft? Do they like to build things? Would you like to increase your child's understanding of how technology works? If yes to any of these, you should get them Piper Computer Kit. My daughter got it for Christmas two years ago and had a great time building and playing on it. Once built, kids have to play and make it through obstacles, which include reworking some of the computer connections along the way. It is a really fantastic way to help kids learn about the inner workings of a computer and circuits in general. I highly recommend it as a great STEM gift.

Recommended for kids ages 7 - 13.
