You can have good geeky-fun with littleBits Kits (Yep, they spell it a lower case “l’). Each building block is magnetic, so you don't have to worry that you're going to connect things incorrectly. (Of course they cuts down the chance of accidentally creating a monster!) LED lights, motors, sound modules all powered by a simple 9 Volt battery. Here what the company says about themselves:
“littleBits are color-coded “bits” that snap together magnetically to make it easy for children and adults to build simple circuits and inventive projects in seconds — from flickering lanterns to piggy banks to light-sensitive cars. Founded by MIT graduate and TED Senior Fellow Ayan Bdeir, littleBits wants to make learning about electronics more fun and accessible to spark the world’s next generation of inventors. Our community of Bitsters ranges from designers, artists and museums to parents, schools and after-school programs.” A complete starter kit is $89.00.
