A STEM and AI kit to help your child learn

The coding is all done in C++ and CircuitBlocks. Instructions are included, but it may be helpful if your child is learning alongside someone who has some knowledge of coding.
Spencer has a sleek red design and 144 LEDs that can display data, icons, animations, and scrolling text. Spencer can also tell jokes, sing a song, set alarms, and make pop culture references.
AI has been turning heads lately, but can ChatGPT make itself look like a duck? CircuitPet is an educational AI pet that may help your child learn about microcomputers, LCD displays, and more. Using C++, your child could program their pet and develop basic robotics skills. Plus, there are some exciting games CircuitPet can play to stay happy and earn XP. It’s a little different than getting an actual pet, but there may be less to clean up after.
Some hardware skills are required for assembly including soldering, real-time clocks, LCD displays, and microcomputers. The CircuitMess AI bundle is intended for kids aged 11 and older.
