Building Kit Old
What fun experiment kit (mechanical or genetics related) would you recommend for my husband?
My husband is interested in tinkering around with mechanics, electronics and now into reading about genetics. I would like to get him an experiment or building kit that would be fit for a 27 year old that is mechanically inclined with a engineering background (something challenging but not for an expert). Any recommendations of first hand experience with a kit that you liked?
If he likes electronics you can get a Microcontroller kit from Parallax – they have some great project kits…he can use a microcontroller in all kinds of things and it can be programmed easily with your home computer.
Another cool gift to get him would be a subscription to Make magazine if he’s not already getting that. The authors of Make also produce a microcontroller kit called the Ardurino.
I have also included a link to a Make issue that had some very cool genetic experiments with plants and even showed out to build a home made DNA sequencer. If he likes genetics he’d love this issue.
