The Gadgeteer – Julie Strietelmeier
It takes almost no effort to get kids interested in technology because they are naturally drawn to gadgets and gizmos like smartphones and iPads. While playing games on these devices is a lot of fun for children, they don’t learn much from the time spent gaming. What if kids could play and learn important skills at the same time? LightUp kits are both fun and educational; they are specially designed magnetic circuit blocks that snap together and are used with a mobile app to allow kids (ages 5 – 17 years old) to explore the world of electronics and programming in a fun and simple way.

The magnetic circuit blocks consist of basic components like a battery, LED and buzzer, to advanced components like a microprocessor. When kids snap them together they can build projects like a nightlight, music box, a TV remote and more.
