Elenco has been creating the Snap Circuits line of building toys for kids for years. And now they are adding more fun into the mix and we think that’s a great idea. For instance Soccer Shot has kids build a soccer field with electronics and mechanical movements. VP of Marketing and Innovation Tim Conlin..

“This is a two player soccer game. But our twist in Snap Circuits, we bring it to life where kids actually have to build this game from the ground up. Not only do they build the field, they build the goalie net, but they also wire all the electronics that power this game.”

Very smart and fun. You can’t go wrong…and there are more great kits like Flight Deck and Spy Kit. Learn more at shop.elenco.com.

With school activities, after school sports and lessons….and the holidays around the corner….it seems like every household can use a little help. More and more of us are turning to AI to keep things better organized. At Google, Trends Expert Amy Eisinger ..a mom of two….says…Docs Live lets her use speech to help with a school garden..

“What I really like is that it takes this kind of messy brain dump and it organizes it. So I can say things like.. Hey, remind me that I need to buy a new rake for the garden. And when should I plant those bulbs? And it will take all of those kinds of messy thoughts and then put them into a cohesive document so that I feel like I have clear steps to follow.”

There’s more…like Google Pics for image creation and editing…and the daily brief in Gemini Live.

“And what this is is an all electric four wheel drive, 27 horsepower compact tractor that does just everything that a diesel tractor can do. Like an EV, it’s just battery based. So therefore it is silent, high torque, immediate torque, super easy to use and drive. It has the same three point hitch and 540 PTO as every other tractor pretty much that’s ever been out there.”

The GoSun Moonrider 27 is available to reserve now… There’s a solar option, of course, too.

Tim is a former colleague at WCBS NewsRadio 88 in New York…who has covered some of the biggest stories for decades at CBS and ABC…and now passes his knowledge along to students. About that career..

“We were the ones who had the ability to ask the hard questions of people when there were stories to tell. And so you took that responsibility very seriously. I had a bit of a discomfort writing a book because I didn’t really want it to be about myself, so I tried to do my best to make it about the stories that I covered and find a way to bring some humanity into the profession of journalism.”

And a better understanding. The book again…My Front Row Seat…by Tim Scheld.
