  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • Beautifully executed, exceptional value
Style: SC-750R Pattern Name: Kit
This is an exceptional kit, and one that has an incredible depth. It is very well thought through, from the intuitive instruction books to the components themselves and even the case. The system for snapping the pieces together is easy to apply and ingenious in it's simplicity. In fact, the tactile nature of snapping pieces together gives a child rewarding feedback as they progress through a design. There are no fine wires to feed into holes or fine motor control required. The instruction books, while needing to be succinct enough to follow, offer a contextual explanation of each configuration. We bought this after seeing it in our son's preschool class and he - now four, frequently asks to play with it. It is advanced for his age, but with a parent as his guide, he is attentive and engaged. One final note on the "Fun" rating. This kit does require some work and does not yield instant gratification (a good thing, in my mind). Fun is in the mind of the beholder, but with the the benefits and educational value that it imparts, I have no reservations whatsoever in giving it full marks. ... show more

  • Very cool
Style: SC-750R Pattern Name: Kit
If you like knowing how things work you will love this set. I have a son who only wants to play video games but this circuits kit has enthralled him by being able to make different electronic devices, learning how it works, and experimenting with altering the circuits to see if you can predict the change that will happen. Very cool. This set will supply hours of fun, learning, and discovery, especially considering I have more kids, and the projects are not "used up" when you make them but are disassembled and can be used over and over. The case is nice and everything has its place. New pieces for ones lost or broken can easily be purchased individually from the manufacturers website - an almost unheard off benefit with most toy makers. I also bought the Battery Eliminator which has a spot made for it in the case. I was very impressed overall. ... show more

  • Absolutely awesome
Style: SC-750R Pattern Name: Kit
We bought this for my five year old son as his big "finale" Christmas present. He'd been after us for about a year for one of these sets, but given the expense involved at retail locations we had to hold off for an event. A couple of weeks ago we paid a paltry $110 for the above. Perhaps it will come down again later, maybe it was a mistake. Regardless, this item is indeed worth it at twice the price. The quality of all components is faultless. The case is well worth it, and holds all parts securely. Each bay is even labeled. The books are very well made, printed with bright sharp colors and well written. So far the projects are well paced for my son and I. He can follow the diagrams and put most of them together with only occasional clarification provided by myself. You will want to do this with your kids. Or, I guess, I think you SHOULD want to do this with your kids. My five year old quickly decided he wanted to design his own circuits. He was able to tell me what he wanted it to do, and we built it together. Though it was his idea to test his own design, he did need my help planning it out and may have caused some damage without it. We're smart folks, but beyond scant high school memories of cursory lessons, I'm mostly ignorant of electronics. My guess is, if you're even considering buying this for your children, you and your kids will have a lot of fun learning with this product. Utterly satisfied. And again, we would be at twice the price. ... show more
