1. Acro Sport 1 Aircraft Kit

Forget model cars, with this do-it-yourself kit from Wicks Aircraft Supply, you can build your own aircraft!

2. 3DMe Photobooth

Instead of snapping selfies, you could be printing them with the 3DMe Photobooth from Big Systems. The Photobooth uses 3D imaging technology to capture an instant, photo-realistic facial image. You can even play animations of your personalized character, share your image on social media or order 3D-printed, full-color figurines right from the booth. 

 

3. Ready To Fly Nano Copter

Much like 3D printing, drone technology is being used in more and more settings. Today, one of those settings is the backyard. RC Drones' custom-built Nano Copter is a great introductory drone, allowing you and your family to practice on a manageable drone before graduating to some of the heavier duty copters.
