This week it's a last look at stuff from Toy Fair 2016. We'll learn about a new STEM toy and two non-toy gadgets from Fair 2016!

Tinkineer, a STEM-RELATED toy.

Before we talk about Tinkineer kits, here's a quickie STEM lesson. STEM is an acronym for the fields of science, technology, engineering and math. At Toy Fair, I believe the acronym should be changed to STEAM. They would add an A for “art” or ”arts”. And now back to our first gadget: 

Here's how Tinkineer describes their fun & easy to build STEM kits: Marbleocity is a unique STEM kit that encourages young people to pursue careers in engineering using dynamic model kits that are made of wood in America. Each Marbleocity “marble machine” kit ships with a companion graphic novel featuring the Tinkineers. The comic introduces a physics concept or engineering mechanism that is also the focal point of the model. The result is a beautiful showpiece-quality, kinetic sculpture and a unique learning experience.
