Playz Electrical Circuit Board Engineering Kit for Kids with 25+ STEM Projects Teaching Electricity, Voltage, Currents, Resistance, & Magnetic Science | Gift for Children Age 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13+

My 8 year old son chose this from a long list of possible options for a gift. He thought it sounded fun and cool to play with electricity (safely) and make things happen because of him connecting a bunch of stuff together. He was beyond excited when we received the product and could not wait to open it. The circuitry set comes with the base already put together. The outlying parts such as the bell, spinning light, top spinner, etc. need to be assembled before use. All are relatively simple to assemble and should not take more than 30 minutes before you are ready to begin experimenting. The base has a storage compartment on each side where you can store the wires, magnet, and other accessories. The instruction manual that comes with the set is full of educational insight and 329 experiments. It begins by giving a basic lesson on electricity and circuitry, including how to read a circuit diagram. The next couple of pages lay out the parts list and terminology used in the manual as well as a Table of Contents for all 329 experiments so you can easily find which one you want to try. Every experiment gives you a title, explanation of what the experiment will do and how it will do it, a circuit diagram, and an easy-to-follow numbering sequence for the wiring if you are struggling to read a circuit diagram. They have made it extremely easy to wire up everything, so anyone at any age could easily connect the wires to the base. They use a coiled metal spring for every terminal, so you simply push the spring to the side and slide a wire in. No difficult latching, screws, soldering, etc. When done, you can easily just pull the wire out of the spring without needing to push the spring to the side again. The best part of all of this --- You CANNOT be electrocuted by this circuitry set as sold by the company! The system works on 2 or 4 AA batteries, so it does not have the ability to provide enough voltage or current to harm you. This gives you the perfect opportunity to teach electrical safety without the possibility of someone being hurt. (Note that any modification done to the set outside of what is specifically listed in the manual is not recommended and could result in potential harm) My 8 year old son has already spent hours playing and experimenting. He has had no issues wiring up the most complicated experiments in the manual because they make it so easy to understand, follow, and wire. He's even helped my 4 year old son wire up experiments with ease. Highly recommended educational product for all ages, even adults!!!

Super fun and great gift, our 11 year old loves it

Great product. A lot to set up initially. The initial instructions could be better

Fun product and a good next step for kids who like snap circuits. It took my 7 and 10 year olds some help with set up but they got the hang of it pretty quickly and have had fun experimenting.

Fun learning tool. I had something similar as a kid and now I get to experiment all over again with my daughter.

Great product to help get kids introduced into wiring circuits and changing circuit behavior.

Easy to follow instructions. 10-year-old grandson loved it! Sat for hours wiring up different circuits.

Simple instuctions

My children love this toy, great way to foster and cultivate intelligence in children. Thank you very much, I really appreciate this toy!

!!Muy buen juego didáctico!!! Con mucho que aprender y jugar con la electrónica, para niños y adolescentes. Nota: El instructivo solo está en inglés.

Muy chafa el tablero de cartón donde vienen montados los componente, falta una mayor descripción de cada circuito para que cumpla con cometido educativo
