Holiday Gift Guide 2018 – Makeblock Airblock and mBot Ranger | DigiKey

Ashley wants hippos for the holidays – oh wait, she’s got enough of those already. Instead, she’s writing the red-suited guy asking for the coolest products from Makeblock. The Airblock is a programmable Drone and Hovercraft that easily snaps together creating a programmable, transformable, AND crashable way to learn about block coding and aerodynamics. Ashley is also looking at the mBot Ranger kit as a gift idea. The mBot Ranger kit is a 3 in 1 transformable robotics kit featuring wireless control via Bluetooth and the mBlock app. This kit uses block programming, which is a great introduction to coding. Additionally, you can get the mBot Ranger add-on Laser Sword which is a pretty sweet extension. Check out digikey.com for these and other educational gift ideas.
