@The NYC Toy fair 2008 I met the folks from ScienceWiz (including Pegg Norman, PHD, the writer!) - ScienceWiz "kits" are age specific science learning for kids. The original development of the ScienceWiz line was funded through grants from the National Science Foundation and the Franklin Foundation. There were a few science-learning companies (and we've covered most of them) - but I think ScienceWiz has some of the best ones for younger kids - I also like how the "kit" is in a box and a magazine-like book is attached, I'd like to do something like that with MAKE eventually.

I recently decided to learn to play chess. While it may not be the sexiest undertaking and probably wouldn’t make for a very exciting 30-day trial (don’t worry — I’ll spare you!), taking up chess as a...
