The polls are open! You are invited to vote in Round One of our STEM Bracket Showdown. It pits 16 popular kits, toys, models, and tools against one another. You have a week to cast your votes and help us winnow the field down to eight. The items are grouped into four brackets: Construction and Building, Toys, Kits and Labs, and Tools.

I’ll have the results of the first round of voting next week, along with some top-notch analysis of the voting results.

For all the details on how to vote and win, plus a rundown of the fabulous prizes, click on this link.
