New Avengers-themed coding kits from LittleBits will allow young inventors to unleash their inner Shuri or Tony Stark. 

The electronic pieces, or “bits” – which look like tech straight out of the MCU – fit together in many possible combinations and come with a series of “hero training” modules from different Avengers.

So, if you try the Iron Man tutorial, it’ll focus on the LED matrix (and probably on the wearable sleeve that all the bits fit onto). The Ant-Man and the Wasp module focuses on the physics of movement and velocity; Black Widow’s lesson is about stealth (natch), and Black Panther and Shuri team up to explain the customization of coding and tech as their technologically-advanced Wakandan education would have taught them.

The entire kit sells for $150 and goes on sale August 24th.
