Maker construction kits

I spotted this maker product line from Fischertechnik recently, which may be of interest to the STEM community on element14.

Nice looking kits. I've never owned/built Fischertechnik stuff but it looks fairly sturdy. Unfortunately, it will be quite a while before my grandson would be ready for one of these. In the meantime I'll try to get him interested with stuff that I already own with the expectation that it will not survive very long (he's not quite 3). I've been thinking of resurrecting an old Lego Mindstorms kit but that might be a challenge. Maybe convert it to use a more recent processor with WiFi/BLE and graphical block programming.

Perhaps start off small with something like this cable car model built for BUGA 2023
