It doesn’t matter whether you need to get a birthday gift for a 9 year old girl who loves One Direction or one who plans to go to Mars. Either way, a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) gift should be on the top of your list. If she’s already studying for astronaut camp then she’ll absolutely love it. If not, these gifts are so cool she won’t even know she’s learning science! Who knows what she’ll achieve?
