  • After four years - still fun, affordable, easy to use and picked by schools for STEM classes
Style: SC-750R Pattern Name: Kit
If you're wondering what to buy your child this year that is not another toy or video game, consider Snap Circuits. Elementary schools in my area have introduced them as part of their STEM curriculum and they have been a hit with the students as they are able to create all sorts of projects, including alarms, fans, lamps, AM radio, doorbells, special sound and light effects, etc. I will compare it to Little Bits and Lego Mindstorm below. There are materials and training out there to build more elaborate toys that could potentially get your child a Science Fair prize, but if you're looking for something affordable that doesn't require an advance degree, allows kids to have fun on their own and spend hours tinkering with, you'll soon find that the Snap Circuits 750 sets is the best investment. It is the one my child's school picked in the end for ease of use and because - let's face it - kids love it. A Top 10 Educational Toy award and a 5-star overall review speaks for itself. Don't let the nondescript look and fancy name fool you - this is a high quality, five-star rated toy, voted one of the best of the year. You can buy smaller Snap Circuit sets with the individual manuals, but the price overall will be higher when you buy all five separately. Get the whole set instead - the SC-750 set is a bargain for the hours of fun this will bring your child and your family for years to come. This set includes the 5 easy-to-follow manuals of the smaller sets and all the parts needed to build 750 projects in all, in a sturdy carrying case to hold it all. It's for kids 8-15 but grown-ups love to help as well This SC-750 set grows with your child. As a learning tool, the projects are meant to be done in some sequence, with each one explaining a part and what happens if you move this or that - at least in the beginning. We started working on the Jr (100) set which is the pink manual (1-101) when my son was five and he was able to do it with our help. Every step is explained, once you learn one project you move to the next and see what happens to a siren when you add a resistor, for example. The descriptions are kept short and to the point - for example, that the resistor lowers the volume. One reviewer wished each part of each project was explained in detail each time. As one project builds on the knowledge from a previous project, it's impossible to explain what happens with each part in any one project. This would fill the page with tons of text. Rather, it's a gradual learning process and it's assumed that earlier projects have been done. Four years later my son still loves it but is able to do it on his own, and is doing projects from other manuals. He can skip ahead too as the diagrams clearly show how to put all the parts together - though he might miss some explanations about the "why" of using each circuit part in a particular project if he doesn't do them in sequence. Not a big issue at this age where assembly-type toys with lots of parts are the norm. My now nine-year old considers the R-750 set to be - in his words - awesome. Seeing how each varies intrigues him to no end. He's still fascinated with the set, more so now that he's also using them in school. I've also had the opportunity to see other STEM toys in action. A month ago, Barnes and Noble hosted Mini Makers fairs in stores nationwide and one that was featured was Little Bits. It is probably more along the lines of more traditional circuits, where small components are put together to create alarm clocks and moving parts in legos. It is also exorbitantly expensive. Fortunately some libraries are investing thousands of dollars in buying these so you may soon be able to find them free of charge near you. It too ends up creating gizmos and gadgets, but for a lot of $$. Today I covered another STEM event at a library, this time with Lego Mindstorm. A teacher helped students for two hours to build a Lego robot, starting with the base Mindstorm unit, programming it on a computer, setting up parameters for instructions to make the robot spin, turn lights on and off, etc. This class was free but if you decide to buy it on amazon, a Lego Mindstorm Kit is very expensive and only lets you do a handful of projects. Now the big "BUT" kids have a hard time doing these on their own which is why schools are bringing teachers to train them and companies - not schools, at least in my area - are doing after-school classes and summer camps just to learn how to use this Lego Mindstorm. If the teacher leaves, the kids are left with a bunch of technology they don't know how to use because it can be so complex. In all, either as an introduction to circuits or simply as an assembly toy, it's a winner. ... show more

  • Best Starter Electronics Kit Ever!
Style: SC-750R Pattern Name: Kit
My 7 year old son loves this. It was one of the first "toys" he wanted to play with after opening presents from Christmas 2015. We went through the first 22 projects in one sitting on that day before he was ready to play with something else. On the second sitting on another day, we went through 20 more projects. By the third sitting, he was putting the projects together by himself with minimal input from me. He is even coming up with new circuit designs to suit his interests. For example, he wanted to replace the photo sensor piece with the clipper chip to activate one of the circuits with sound instead of light. He also came up with ways of incorporating a resistor into the circuits using the speaker which didn't originally use a resistor in the design in order to reduce the volume so his mother could nap while he played with it. One of the circuits was behaving in series in a way that underwhelmed, so he decided to rewire it in parallel to enhance its performance. On a personal note, I am really glad I bought the 750 project version as the projects are all pretty short. This is good for holding the attention of young children, but if I had only bought the 150 project set, he would have gone through it too quickly. My wife and I both love the fact it comes with a case which has a labeled location for every component, and stores the project books. I cannot overstate the usefulness of the case for keeping the whole thing contained and organized. The case is robust, sturdy, well thought-out, and completely invaluable. The components are also all sturdy and both snap together and unsnap without issue. The one thing I caution is that on some of the longer "wire" pieces, you must teach your child to press them together on the snaps, and not press in the center of the wire piece. Pressing in the center on the longer pieces bends the piece and fails to engage the snaps on the ends, and I'm afraid if he pushes too hard, he may break the piece. It hasn't happened yet, but I have been pretty quick to correct where he pushes when putting those pieces down. In short, he is super excited about the whole kit and really looking forward to playing with it for countless hours. He had asked for a toy for Christmas which he would never outgrow, and when he saw this, he agreed this was such a toy. He even stated that when he gets through all the projects, he can come up with his own projects to do and keep playing with it forever. ... show more

  • Awesome educational product that entertains for hours
Style: SC-750R Pattern Name: Kit
You could buy the separate components in smaller kits and have all of the supplies that are included, but then you'd pay a ton more for what is included here. This is a well made, hard shell kit that is well labeled and contains everything you need to explore the world of circuitry. This isn't a go it alone item as the instructional manuals are included and necessary to begin your exploration. Great news, the manuals are well written, easy to follow, and educational. This set is used by schools in science classrooms to study electrical circuitry, and it's usually a "wow" item in the classroom. For a fairly modest investment ($110 - $120) you can own the set and inspire further work and play with this set. I think the set is optimal starting in about 4th grade. Younger children can and will enjoy it, but I think the last two years of elementary school are the prime time to start with this set. They seem to have the patience to work through the books and understand why things work they way that they do.... you may see a bit more stick-to-it-iveness at these ages. Adults will learn and have fun too. This makes for a great school vacation item or rainy/snowy weekend endeavor. The kit includes a vast array of experiments and projects that can be worked through relatively easily. Projects do not have to last longer then 30-45 minutes, but certainly can last far longer, if you want. Cleanup is a breeze becase the storage compartments are well marked. Everything has a place. It's fun. It's educational. It's worth the investment. No, the hard shell black box isn't likely to achieve the oooohs and aaaaahs that some other gadget might receive on Christmas morning or at a birthday party, but think of it more as a mystery in a box, and over time, your youngerster's enjoyment and appreciation will increase. ... show more

  • Nice product
Style: SC-750R Pattern Name: Kit
I like this for teaching my son about circuits and it even has some beginning logic like plc’s use. The board that the circuits are built on (bread board) is a bit flimsy. It’s plastic so handle with care. Overall if you’re willing to sit and work through a circuit with a kid they will learn and even some adults will too. It’s a very good beginners training tool. My son on his first project got a simple light circuit and he lit up 3 projects in he made a clap activated circuit. He just lit up. Lol. Bad dad joke. But true. ... show more

  • SC-750R
Style: SC-750R Pattern Name: Kit
Really good buy. I saw all the single kits and decided on this one. This one is lots of those single kits all in one case. Cheaper that way. I really like the hard case it comes in. Keeps all the pieces safe and I don't end up with smashed or broken boxes from kid use. This set DOES NOT come with an AC adapter. I highly recommend purchasing the AC adapter so you don't have to go through a bunch of batteries. The ac adapter is a steal compared to how much batteries are. There is even an empty space in the case (on the bottom part of the case) just for the AC adapter. My 7 year old loves playing with these. We have a blast doing experiments together. Directions are easy to follow. Whats included inside the case: -Teacher Guide, 30 page book for models/kits SC-100R, SC-300R, SC-500R & SC-750R.(The SC-100R through SC-500R are kits you can purchase individually.

  • A Great Introduction Into the World of Electronics
Style: SC-750R Pattern Name: Kit
I home-school one of my nephews. We have just finished our first year of home-schooling, and while the curriculum is better than what he was receiving at public school, I decided that I should start integrating more "real-world" knowledge and experience with his classes. Since I already have a degree in electronics, I figured that this would be a really good start for him if he decides to go down that road. (I started with the old Radio Shack Electronic kits....the ones back in the 70's with the steel springs and you had to wire everything by hand.) So far we have unboxed the kit, and I have to say that I really like it. It does feel like it can not take much abuse, since it is mostly plastic, but we have not put together any projects yet. Down the road, as we add this to his classwork I'll be adding pictures and/or video of projects, along with a more detailed update to this review. For now, know that you receive all of the project books for the previous kits with this one. (Each book is separate for each kit, though you receive all of the parts as if you had purchased the kits separately.) Also, you will receive the Student Guide for Electronic Snap Circuits Hands-on Program for Basic Electricity (Models SC-300R, SC-500R, & SC-750R) (Hands-on Electronics) and the Teacher Guide for Electronic Snap Circuits Hands-on Program for Basic Electricity (Models SC-100R, SC-300R, SC-500R, & SC-750R) with this kit, so DO NOT purchase these books. (I had purchased the Student Guide for Electronic Snap Circuits Hands-on Program for Basic Electricity (Models SC-300R, SC-500R, & SC-750R) (Hands-on Electronics) when I purchased this kit, but I will be keeping it as my nephew has a penchant for destroying books and loosing things; so an extra copy doesn't hurt me.) Everything is laid out in an easy to read (and understand) format. The Student's Guide adds more information to the projects that your student/child will be working on, so they will have a better understanding of what they are doing and what the goal of each project is. The Teacher's Guide is more of a test book than anything else; however, it will help you know where your student/child is excelling or is having problems within the subject matter. Once again, I will be adding to this review as time goes on to let you know how well it integrates with a home-school curriculum and how durable it is. ... show more

  • One very cool gift..
Style: SC-750R Pattern Name: Kit
I wasn't 100% sold on buying this gift for an 8 year old when I first saw it.. In fact it looked way too hard and/or maybe just a little boring..!! It looked like it couldn't be very much fun for an 8 yr. old kid.. But the reviews looked so good that I decided to take a big chance on it.. I bought this for my grandsons 8th B-Day party and it totally surprised me by being the big "hit" gift for him, out of many other very cool gifts he got.. Plus it was the one gift he just had to open up and check out way before any others.. He then took right to it and began building several projects from the first projects book.. In a very short time he was snaping parts together just like he was an old pro with building legos.. The big difference, it really does something when it's all finished.. Once he finished one working project he was then even more pumped to move on to building the next one.. Very cool, indeed..!! The bottom line is he was having a whole lot of fun with it.. And as a grandparent, I was having much more fun just watching him.. I really don't know about the educational value of it just yet.. It's still way too early to say.. But I do know when something just "clicks" for my grandson.. You can just see it in his eyes.. And this old grandpa does know when he's finally hit a "B-Day gift" homerun in my best ever little buddy's eyes.. I'm very pleased with this item and I'm pleased with this entire Amazon purchase.. PS I've often wondered if all these reviews we're just placed here by the many manufacturers.. But after this last recommended item purchase of mine, I'd more have to say they only seem to be some very "dead on" item reviews.. ... show more
