  • Great entertaining learning tool
Size: 100 Projects
I donated these to my son's 4th grade class as an end of year gift. I volunteered during the year teaching STEM once a week. We used these the last day of STEM and the kids absolutely loved it! The instructions for building various circuits are illustrated and the kids were able to build a ton of stuff. It was definitely a great investment. ... show more

  • Highly Recommended – A Fun and Educational Experience!
Size: 100 Projects
We recently purchased this for our 7-year-old daughter, and it's been absolutely worth it! The materials are child-friendly, engaging, and age-appropriate. It's not just another toy – it’s a smart investment in her development. We’ve seen a noticeable improvement in her.

I bought this for my 9 yo STEM minded grandson, and he absolutely LOVES it!! He sat down and played with it for a couple of hours, and my husband joined in because he thought it was fun as well. It's a high quality toy, and I'm so glad that I invested in it! Highly recommend.

  • Really neat product, really bad packaging
Size: 750 Projects
Bought this (very far in advance) for my daughter for Christmas, as I was looking for something similar to the Radio Shack 200:1 type kits I had as a child. Unfortunately, those don't exist anymore - but this is pretty close. The instructions could use some work, as they do not really describe what the components are doing and it feels more like teaching them to build Legos rather than read or understand electronic components and circuit diagrams, but I can understand how it might be the best option given the limitations of pieces being used. The old Radio Shack units had springs and everything was wired together with (sometimes hundreds!) of little jumper wires. Granted, I suppose not much is really wired that way anymore, and perhaps this more "circuit board style" is more appropriate for today's kids (and adults!). Either way, she has really enjoyed playing with it and learning about dc current flow, how reversing polarity on the motor causes it to spin in different directions, and troubleshooting her circuit lead to an understanding of how diodes are only one way. It's achieving it's goal, and for that, it's great. What's not so great, however, is the packaging. It's two cardboard and plastic molded trays, and just a slip cover. It's very difficult to store, since anything other than sitting flat on a shelf will cause the slip cover to come off, the trays to fall, and pieces to go everywhere! It really needs a traditional, closing box. Will have to try to find something that is more appropriate to hold the pieces, which is unfortunate. ... show more

  • A STEM toy kids (and adults) actually enjoy
Size: 300 Projects
Bought these as a birthday gift for our niece, who absolutely loved them. I always wanted to get these for some kid, and fortunately, the niece aged right into the perfect demographic for me to do so. Just having turned 6, I was afraid it would maybe be a bit over her head. I was wrong. Over the course of 40 minutes, we started knocking out one after another of the HUNDREDS of included projects. The booklet/instructions are well-written, easy to understand, and explains the how's what's why's and how's of circuitry. I enjoyed playing with it myself, and I'm in my forties. If you're not buying kids Legos, pay the premium, and grab a set of these. ... show more
