Minecraft Creeper USB drive on blister pack

Minecraft USB Squad

A whole lineup of Minecraft character USBs so children can stash worlds, homework, and secret redstone plans in style. Collect the Creeper, Steve, Alex and friends, then argue over whose data is the most dangerous.

Price: A$5–40 (varies by character)

Robot made from cardboard controlled by a microbit

Makedo Cardboard Kits

Turn every cardboard box into a spaceship, shop, or suspiciously wobbly robot. Safe saws and clever screws mean children do the building while adults pretend they weren’t going to throw that box out.

Price: kit-based, from A$10-$260

micro:bit V2 GO kit with board, batteries and USB cable

micro:bit V2 GO Kit

A pocket-sized coding lab with lights, buttons, sensors and sound. Children use it to make games, step counters and random decision makers (“Should I tidy my room?” … probably not the best use).

Price: A$30

Child holding Merge Cube with augmented reality heart on phone screen

Merge Holographic Cube

It looks like a foam cube. Add an app and suddenly children are holding planets, organs, and exploding volcanoes in their hands. It’s science class, but with actual squeals.

Price: A$30

Children jumping in front of a colourful Immersive Gamebox game wall

Immersive Gamebox Sessions

A real-world games room where the walls respond to your moves. Think collaborative video game meets escape room, minus the lost keys and plus a lot of jumping.

Price: session-based, from A$35 per player

Turquoise handheld Elecfreaks Retro Arcade console

Elecfreaks Retro Arcade Console

A colourful handheld that children code themselves with MakeCode Arcade. They design the game, test it, break it, fix it, then hand it to you and say, “Bet you can’t beat level two.”

Price: A$98

HUE Animation Studio kit with USB camera, software, and stop-motion creation tools displayed on a desk

HUE Animation Studio

Everything budding directors need to make stop-motion films at home: camera, software and a book full of tricks. Expect clay monsters, dramatic Lego fallovers and very serious title screens.

Price: A$135

Maqueen Plus V3 micro:bit educational robot with sensors

Maqueen Plus V3 Robot (for micro:bit)

An advanced classroom robot that can follow lines, dodge obstacles and act suspiciously like a pet. Children code it to deliver notes, race mazes or patrol the hallway for snack thieves.

Price: A$150 (micro:bit extra)

Black metal XGO quadruped robot dog with gripper arm

XGO Robot Dog for micro:bit

A metal robot dog with 15 joints, a grabby little arm and a serious appetite for code. Children program walks, tricks and fetch routines; you quietly appreciate that it never needs feeding.

Price: A$750 (micro:bit extra)

Framework modular laptop

Framework Modular Laptops

For older children and teens* ready for a their own machine. These modular laptops are built to be repaired and upgraded, not binned at the first cracked port. Great for coding, game design and gentle lectures on e-waste.

*They're a great choice for adults too!

Price: from A$909 (configurable)
