    Then There Were Two: Vote for Your Favorite STEM Starter!

    June 23, 2015

    After three weeks of intense voting, we’re down to the Championship Round in our STEM Starter competition. It will pit Heathkit/Crystal Radio against Legos/Mindstorm. Heathkit/Crystal Radio got to this round by edging out Balsa Wood rubber band planes/kits, while Legos had to overcome a strong finish by Microscope/Telescope.

    It’s gratifying that the voters have chosen two STEM Starters that really bring out the engineer in kids of all ages while still providing some hands-on education in how the world works.

    And let us know what you think of the results of the third round of voting. Which one do you predict will take the top honors?
