Haha I guess I've always been a science nerd. I loved the chemistry set always wanted an ant farm so bad I built one not long ago. My brother (the 7 year old) is on a similar track. He gets giddy and runs around over new books, he loves legos, loves plants, and is interested in the ecosphere I got our dad. In response to your questions: I want to get more math and science into his life. I think his school and our dad are both very literature heavy. Ideas so far have included Snap Circuits, tiny animal habitats, and plant kits. And yes, these are all things that I'm at least a little bit "Oh Cool!" about. Hes young for rockets and real electronics kits. I wish there was a more fun way to get kids going with math/logic/programming at a young age that they can eventually do on their own. Those rods looks really neat. I don't know if they'd be game-like exactly, but, I'm now definitely glad I asked the question to HN! I wouldn't have found them otherwise.
