“My girlfriend wants to learn electronics so I thought of buying her one of those traditional circuit labs with all the wires and spring clips. A wire and spring clip lab provides many more components in a given area, but the need to jumper wires back and forth can be confusing if you're working from a schematic diagram. A schematic diagram (as opposed to wiring diagram) is best for learning theory because it is easy to follow the current/signal flow through the circuit. When the kit arrived, I was very impressed by the quality of construction. The kit is well organized with little dead space. There is a good assortment of parts and there's even a way to interface the lab with your PC (I believe it's through the audio jack which explains the low frequency range response but it's a clever hack). The only downside I see to this kit is that it's best for leaning theory and you won't pick up much in the way of construction skills such as bread-boarding, wire routing, PCB fab, or soldering.”
“I purchased this item for my 13 yr old son for Christmas. He's into science and the how-to's. Everything I found locally seemed too little kid for him so I went out on a limb and purchased this item. I, nor he, was not disappointed. First of all it comes in a hard, thick plastic case with compartments for each piece. After receiving this set for Christmas, he showed me how cool it was and the booklets that it comes with that has over 300 projects (he gave that number. I didn't look it up). He was so impressed and loves all of the thinks it'll do--make different sounds, turn a fan, light up, among many others. I find him in his room experimenting with what all he can do. They snap together so easily and are quick, easy, and neatly put away. To the maker of this item, I give 10 stars. Fabulous learning item!!”
“This is a legit education in electronics and circuits. My 9 year old loves it! Def worth getting the case to keep everything organized. Makes projects easier and more fun. Endless projects from easy to full on electrical engineer!!”
