Ran across this cool STEM-oriented Quad Drone Kit at Target in their STEM area near video games. The OEM lists it as $149.95, but it was on clearance for $44.70. Very cool little kit that uses LEGO parts for its structure, and says it can crash and go back together (part of experimentation!).
App will run drone on its own from a phone, etc., but the box mentions being able to program it with Google Blocks, or even C.
A lot of stores in West Michigan have them in stock according to the Target Stock Checker.

I see a lot of them getting flipped on ebay, but likely not much of a money maker. Get one and give it to a young STEM potential teenager!
