Lego Boost Creative Toolbox

Lego Boost Creative Toolbox

A great way for young kids to learn about coding, Lego Boost gives you the pieces to build one of five different robots and program them using the associated Android or iOS app.

The software is extremely, fun and intuitive as it shows children how to code using a simple block-based language that's entirely marked with icons rather than words. My five year old who can't read yet was writing his own programs within a few minutes. Also, at $159, Boost is an incredible value compared to robot kits that cost twice as much and are half as fun.
