Good present for 11 year old?

[wakemewhenitsallover]

Help! I need to come up with a present idea for a 11 year old boy. He's into science and geeky stuff. He has his own computer but no games consoles. He likes animating, but has stickbots already and uses an app on his phone.

Budget: £50 approx.

I've got to come up with this idea quickly and I think the time the pressure is making my mind go blank!

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks! :)

It doesn't have to be a sciency toy! That's just what first came into my mind.

What are your 11 year olds into?

My daughter is turning 11 and has asked for a graphics drawing slate that connects to her computer. Apparently they're great for drawing and animating.

Raspberry pi?

snap circuits

k’nex do some good sets for older kids, as do Mecanno
Microscope
Perpetual marble run
Coding robot/build your own robot kit
Chemistry set

Wicked Uncle and BrightMinds can be good for STEM type ideas.

This is BRILLIANT - my 12 year old loves his!

Thank you so much, some great ideas here!

I know he already has the Kano coding wand, it looks fab! I really like what Kano are doing.

Am feeling indecisive due to the great options on this thread now haha! Will bite the bullet and order something today...
