Elenco Snap Circuits 300-in-1 Experiments Kit

This kit was great. I got it for my 8-year old cousin for Christmas this year. It was the first thing to pull him away from his tablet in ages! The kit reminds me strongly of the old 300-in-1 project kits with the spring terminals I had as a kid, even some of the experiments. This kit is way neater, though -- it appeals to the Lego/Minecraft kids. My only complaint is that the circuits are not as well explained as I would like to see. Reportedly, the available Student Guide helps some with this. Since I am not able to work with him on all the circuits and explain them firsthand, including the Student Guide would be a great step for Elenco to make the toy even more educational.

Le produit a été expédié et est arrivé rapidement. Nous l'avons donné à mon fils pour son 8e anniversaire et il adore ça. Il a naturellement sauté dans les expériences les plus compliquées, mais il y a beaucoup de choix et nous y retournerons et continuerons notre chemin. Chaque expérience dans le livret donne une petite description de ce qui se passe. J'espère que dans peu de temps il commencera à construire ses propres circuits.

Great product for our new Makerspace!

Fantastic tool for fantastic price!

Arrived extremely quickly. Product as described. Easy to follow instructions, well built solid construction, plenty of projects, ideal for learning about electronic circuits. I believe there is a student manual available in the USofA which, if included, could make the educational experience more valuable (as well as help educate dad !). Would recommend both seller and product.
