“12 year old spent various amounts of time going through the builds. Enjoyable, educational and interesting but not holding his interest, once a build is done, you've seen it at work and you move on. He's used some of the builds, like the siren in other areas of play but it's not really an activity he goes back to over and over.”
“Purchased for my 8yo after he played with it at camp this summer. He loves it and it keeps him busy for hours. There are many combinations of circuits to put together. You can turn a fan on, lights and radio as well. Great STEM learning!”
“The kid brought his project in to show me a radio he had built, and on the trip back out to the table he dropped it and broke the battery holder off the base plate. He was kinda done with it at that point. I pulled it out and showed him that you could work around the snapped off pieces, but his interest was killed somehow. Before this mishap, he must have built dozens of the projects. So, my warning is, it's breakable. Should probably keep it on the table, rather than carry it around.”
