Create Working
Electronic CircuitsSnap Circuits comes with over 30 pieces to create 101
different electronic projects. The pieces, which include snap wires, slide
switches, an alarm circuit, a music integrated circuit, and a speaker, snap
together easily on the included plastic grid--no soldering required. Each piece
is numbered and color-coded to make identifying them easy. These components
combine to create working circuit boards just like the ones found inside
televisions, radios, and other electronic devices.
Simple, Fun Projects Let Kids Learn While They Play
With its
easy-to-follow instructions, Snap Circuits gives your child a hands-on education
in how electrical circuits work to run the everyday devices that they're
familiar with. They'll also gain valuable lessons in building and in following
instructions. The project manual includes large color illustrations and simple
directions for each project.
The projects include a sound-activated switch, a musical doorbell, a
voice-controlled lamp, a flying saucer, and a light police siren. With these
projects, children will experiment with things like electric switches,
integrated circuits, digital circuits, fuses, and the transformation of circuit
sounds into other sounds.
Grow as You Go
Because the projects are arranged in order of
complexity, kids can build on their skills as they progress through the manual.
The lessons start out with a simple electric light and switch project that
demonstrates how electricity is turned on and off with a switch. Further along,
kids can put together a two-speed fan, create clap-controlled sounds, and more.
Design Your Own Circuits and Upgrade Your Kit
Once children have
mastered several of the techniques introduced in this kit, they can use the
components to experiment and create their own customized circuits and electronic
devices. The Snap Circuits Jr. SC-100 can also be upgraded to the Snap Circuits
SC-300, Snap Circuits Pro, or Snap Circuits Extreme with the purchase of a UC-30, UC-40, UC-60 upgrade
kits, respectively. Kids will enjoy additional parts, manuals, and projects
that'll take their kit--and their fun--to the next level.
Snap Circuits Jr. SC-100 requires two AA batteries, which are not included.
What's in the Box
Plastic snap-grid, 32 electrical components, and
1 project manual.
