“I ordered these sets for my grade 5 and 6 science classes. The parts are strong enough for repeated use in a classroom environment and there are enough projects to build that the students do not get bored building. I had one battery case break and Elenco mailed three replacements to me in South Africa! Brilliant customer service on the replacement. With the matching hermitshell case and rechargeable batteries (both ordered separately), this kit has lasted years.”
“The concept is good. The directions are okay. I can't imagine most kids would be able to do this independently without some instruction. The issue I have is that many pieces don't function, in fact only a few did. The alarm, all the sounds, none of them were functional! Big let down when we started playing with it. They need better quality control.”
