Minecraft Games Build Kids STEM Skills for Kids

Technology


Minecraft Games Prep Kids for STEM Professions


In the digital, fast-based world we live in, video games and related toys that are not only fun but inspire kids to build STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) skills could not be a more important asset to the success of the next generation. Leading the pack in that gaming category ideal for youth growing up now, is a huge assortment of Minecraft products now available at Best Buy.

MBE partnered with Best Buy for this review




Minecraft, currently one of the most popular family-friendly games, first arrived on the scene back in 2009. The brain-child of Swedish game developer Markus "Notch" Alexei Persson, this sandbox video game makes it possible to build 3D virtual worlds with cubes. Not only does this block building game encourage creativity in an entertaining way, it also sets the stage for boys and girls to engage in a variety of other activities such as exploration, gathering resources, survival challenges and combat that involve problem-solving skills, spacial abilities, strategic thinking and logic. 




All of these benefits of Minecraft help instill STEM aptitude and learning in young students who will eventually evolve into the innovators, scientists, coders, mathematicians and engineers of tomorrow. With such a rich and rewarding concept that is actually good for our children and the world's future, I'm pleased to share what is waiting for you and your family to tap into at Best Buy including the Xbox One S console bundle, additional Minecraft games and many Minecraft toys and collectibles.





Among the many Best Buy finds to discover

  • Microsoft Xbox One S 500 GB Minecraft Favorites Console Bundle, $249.99 (regular $299.99)
  • Minecraft Collector Cases $21.99-$32.99
  • Lots of Minecraft video games, $29.99
  • Minecraft Motion Movie Set, $19.99 (regular $32.99)
  • Minecraft Mini Figures, $3.49
  • Assorted other Minecraft Products





Any of these Minecraft games and toys would make great last-minute holiday gifts. That's because these are gifts which keep nurturing our children and giving long after the holidays are over. Come to think of it these make great gifts for all kinds of occasions throughout the year for birthdays, graduations, and as a reward for doing well in school.

RAZER Pro Gaming Headset Review

Technology

Stylish Pro Quality Headsets for Gamers, Kids


More than any other community in the tech space, it seems gaming enthusiasts embrace an entire lifestyle and culture from the clothes they wear to the games they play to the accessories they pair with their desktop and lap top computers and other gaming devices. A good example are the cool headsets from RAZER which are so popular among the world class pros who compete in e-sports.

Popular Holiday Gift Ideas


Comfortable, high quality RAZER headphones, it turns out, are not just reserved for the domain of the big league game players. They're accessible to kids and teens, too -- not only for playing their favorite games but also for listening to music and movies. Whether at home or in the backseat on road trips there's a headset for everyone.





Headset for Range of Devices at Home, On the Road


The RAZER Kraken Pro V2 Headset is optimized with the ideal balance of weight, performance, functionality and of course, comfort. Features include a 3.5mm combined audio jack and splitter cable to ensure seamless mic support on mobile devices as well as connectivity to any gaming setup as well as an analog volume control wheel.




Added to that, is a microphone that is fully retractable along with comfy over ear design for superior sound isolation and hours of comfortable wearing.  Delivering stereo sound, the RAZER Kraken Pro V2 Headset is compatible with PC/PS4/Mac/Xbox/Mobile devices. 





Available in fun colors for kids, including White, Black and Neon Green.

Headset for PC and Mac Desktops & Laptops


Looking for an over the ear headset with an even higher level of coolness? Take a step up with the RAZER Kraken 7.1 V2 Digital USB Gaming Headset for a truly immersive surround audio experience with an even higher level of sound isolation. Also designed for hours of comfortable wearing, this model has a completely retractable mic as well as  gives the user the ability to customize audio channels to suit personal listening preferences. 



What's more is, thanks to ample 50mm audio drivers, sound is much richer and more defined. Best of all: kids and teens will love controlling the lighting effects which make the logo on the ear pieces change colors randomly to suit their individual style. Delivering 7.1 virtual surround sound, the RAZER Kraken 7.1 V2 Headset is compatible with PC and Mac. Available in Black.



Both of my college student sons thought these headphones were really awesome. So, depending on what you're looking for and how they will be used, either of these RAZER headsets would make a great gift for kids, teens, and young adults too.
