Gift Ideas For Your Engineer and Rocket Scientist Tweens
This post may contain affiliate links, view our disclosure policy for details.
I am very familiar with your regular basic science kits and exploration sets such as (my fav!) the Snap Circuits sets and experiment sets, but the older my boys are getting the less interested they are in your typical science kit gifts.
The below engineer and science kits are beyond cool and awesome for your older kids and engineer want-to-be’s!
Build your own working reproduction of a 19th century pumping engine. (no tools or glue required!)
Build your own working internal combustion engine! Endorsed by Haynes World’s No. 1 publisher of Car Repair Manuals.
Build your own working robotic arm! NO soldering required!
Build your own working all terrain vehicle! NO soldering required!
This K’NEX bridge set has fantastic reviews and is great for kids that love to build! Build your own working roller coaster! (there are MANY different types and price ranges!)
These are all great ideas! Right up my 8-year-old’s alley!
