Star Wars Droid Inventor Kit – $99.00

Ms. Ayah Bdeir, the Founder and CEO of littleBits Electronics, describes their Star Wars Droid inventor kit as “Simple. Playful. Powerful.” littleBits spent months brainstorming with Disney and Lucasfilm to develop this fascinating kit for children.  The goal was to get all kids, especially girls, involved in STEM/STEAM. Since everyone loves Star Wars, the idea of this was a no-brainer. Each inventor gets to customize and personalize their Droid, making it a unique experience for each child. Included in the box are stickers to place on the Droid, and ideas for incorporating common household items. The Droid can be assembled, take apart and re-assembled again, letting the kids be creative engineers time and again.

An app, available on both iOS and Android, allows for control and driving of your Droid. There are in-app controllers including a joystick, sliders, and tilt mode. For emerging Jedi, with just the wave of a hand, kids can guide their Droid like they’re using the Force. The Droid has some self-awareness as well – it can detect obstacles in front of it and change course like it has a mind of its own.

Get started channeling your inner intergalactic engineer and create your own Droid from the Star Wars film. Recommended for up to ages 6 to 12.
