Tech Trends brings you a real mix of techy toys and gadgets just in time for Black Friday 2018!

Littlebits Avengers Hero Inventor Kit

Littlebits makes all manner of modular STEM kits and solutions for teachers and parents but this one has to possibly be the coolest educational toy ever! It includes some lego-like construction, a bit of electronics and some easy access coding so kids can modify and personalise their glove as they wish. Including the ability to control the colour and strobing of lights, a movement and speed sensor plus an awesome stealth mode ability, I won’t spoil that one for you, Littlebits draws kids into playing with and learning basic STEM while living as their favourite Marvel superhero.

I can’t recommend this enough and only wish my hands were smaller! You can pick one up for only $105 here thanks to Littlebits’ 30% off Black Friday deals.

BlitzWolf Braided AmpCore BW-TC4 (USB Type-C to Type-C) + Turbo BW-TC9 (USB 3.0 to Type-C) Cable

These are really lovely cables. Braided cables have long been my favourite but they can often be a bit thicker than is useful, however, these AmpCore cables from BlitzWolf are pleasingly thin and very well made.
