BUEN JUEGO DE ELECTRONICA
Todo y que las instruccions solo están en inglés, al ser un producto americano, es sencillo de usar, principalmente para ninos/as que esten interesados en la electrónica, aprenden los principios básicos y profundizan en ellos. fàcil de usar, con muchos experimentos para realitzar. Muy buena relación calidad-precio.

Fabulous Purchase!
Brilliant purchase and love the book that comes with it .. my 8 year old loves it and has learned and is learning loads. I am really pleased with this purchase. There are 50 experiments and we have got up to the third so far, although my son wanted to do more, he cant get enough of it. Fast delivery .. 100% happy

My son and I love it
I think it is a great kit, possibly the best purchase I've ever made in this price range. I bought it for my nearly 6 years old son. He is too young to fully grasp the concepts and understand how electronics works, but he is learning to read the wiring digrams, he enjoys connecting the wires, and it loves playing with what he builds. We played with the Morse code (the table is included in the book) and learned how to send his name and "SOS" and many other words; we checked how electricity flows through water and how this changes when one adds salt; we built a radio; and we did many other educational and fun things.The kit appears small on the picture, and it is not large: There are 2 LEDs, an antenna, a tuning capacitor, 4 capacitors, 7 resistors, a variable resistor, 3 transistors, a diode, a transformer, a speaker, a switch, and terminals to connect a 9V battery.These components are sufficient to built 51 projects, starting from very simple ones (how bright an LED glows with different resistors connected between it and the battery?) to as complex as an alarm, blinking lights, and even transistor radio (which actually works!). Each project sheet contains a description, a schematic diagram, a wiring diagram (a sketch of layout of all wires) and a wiring checklist (list of which terminals should be connected with which). From time to time, new concepts are explained on saprate pages. Water flow analogy is extensively used to explan parallel and serial connection of resistors and capacitors. There is even a section on logic (OR and AND circuits.No soldering is required: all wires are easily connected to spring terminals. You bend a spring, slide a wire between the spring coils, and let the spring go - done! I think it is a great idea which makes assembly very easy. Each part is labelled on the cardboard, and each terminal (spring) has a number, which is also indicated on the schematics and on wiring digrams.The 71-page booklet makes a fair effort to explain the concepts behind each circuit. It is a solid booklet, and the explanations are OK for someone familiar with electronics. I do not think the level of explanations is great for a school student who does not know a thing about transistors - and it is not even written as a kids book or as a school textbook - but with the help of an adult, the booklet can be a significant learning resource.The built quality is - how should I put it - cost efficient and not meant to be abused. There is more paper than plastic. All components are attached to a medium-thick cardboard. This is not a toy to be stepped on or dropped on the floor. It should be treated the same way as expensive chess or checkers - you take it out of the box, put on a table in front of your kid, and work on a project with him. Then you disconnect the wires and put it back in the box. With this attitude, it will last. I am not complaining about the built quality as long it enables me to get this set at a good price.The only item that is not provided in the box is a 9 volts battery.I think it is a great educational toy. I played a lot with electronics when I was at school, and I can only wish that at that time I had something as nice as this kit!

Loved it 😍😍😍😍😍
Amazing learning tool. Within a day of my 8 year old opening the box, he'd learned how to make his own flat screen TV from a few food tins and an old beer bottle. Macgyver eat your heart out.Would recommend. And to the guy who down scored it due to it being 'flimsy', what exactly are you expecting? If used as a step ladder, ok granted its flimsy. As a stepping stone for future bomb disposal experts, its absolutely what id expect.If you have boys, they will love it.
