Create Working Electronic Circuits Snap Circuits Jr (SC-100) comes with 28 components to create 100+ 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. 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. Includes: Plastic snap-grid, 32 electrical components, and 1 project manual. Recommended for children 8 years and older.

Title: Perfect product introduce electronic and circuits
Review: Growing up, I always had a liking for electronic circuits (the registers, capacitors, LED’s, IC etc). I wanted to introduce the “the world of electronics to my son (9 year old).I am glad that we got him the Snap Circuits SC-300. The Snap Circuits SC-300 has these snap-buttons, which makes it very easy to build a circuit and most importantly work.My son was very excited to work on the basic circuits at first and was even happier when each of these circuits worked according to the specifications. Slowly he has graduated towards more complex projects (included with the Snap Circuits SC-300 kit). I can see him pondering over the circuits to build something new on his own. He is slowly grasping the electronic vocabulary and started understanding the electronic components. There is this cool project (according to my son) to build an AM radio. I haven’t seen my son so excited when he build an AM radio and picked up a radio station.These are some of the things I liked about the product.1. Excellent quality – Every component worked out of the box. This I feel is very important if you want your child to be interested in a new hobby.2. Excellent Manual – Comes with two manuals. These manuals are well -written and are very easy to follow and more importantly they work as specified.3. Excellent design – it comes with a board (I am calling it a snap board). The board is divided into a grid , this helps the kids to follow the manual instructions and complete a project(on their own),4. Very High educational value – teaching a concept of a variable capacitor, or a RF coil is very difficult, but this product makes it a little easier.5. Very good projects included in the product – many of the projects are entertaining and fun to build.6. Value of money – if you kids gets interested in electronics.7. Unique product – I did research a few products before buying Snap Circuits SC-300. I could not find a better product.I am giving 5 starts for the Snap Circuits SC-300 for the making it easy, fun and educational. The product has a very good quality. It would be nice if we had a multi-meter along with the product.I would highly recommend this product to anybody interested in electronics.

Title: Fantastic kit! Engineer and Father Approved!
Review: My 9-year old son and 7-year old daughter love this thing, heck, I love this thing!The after-school care that my kids go to has the less expensive model (the SC-300) and the kids were always playing with this, so when Christmas 2014 rolled around, I knew exactly what to get my kids. Theyâve had 7 months to play and build and imaginate (yup, thatâs a new word) with this kit and theyâve absolutely loved it. I remember as a kid having a similar electronics kit that I spent much of my youth playing with, and I think I was just as excited to get this as my kids were. Itâs a little pricey, but after seeing how much all the kids at after-school care played with itâand being able to view it in personâI knew that it was worth it.The kit is very well laid out and there are plastic blow-molded trays that hold all the pieces together. This makes it very easy to tell if youâre missing any pieces. There a 5 books of designs chock full of things for the kids to build and the instructions are very easy to understand and all the electronic components are clearly marked.One of the coolest things about this kit is it comes with hardware (a cable) that connects to your PC or laptop via the microphone port that turns your computer into an oscilloscope! Itâs basic stuff, but it works very well I and really takes this kit to a whole new level. Itâs really educational being able to show the kids voltages and currents and waveforms on the computer screen. It pulls together nicely the ability for the kids to physically see whatâs happening (motors turning, LEDs flashing), and see why itâs happening (voltages/waveforms) on the oscilloscope.Now, you know youâve got something good when the kids start taking apart old toys (anything with a motor in it) and start adding on to this kit with pieces of wire (from the same cannibalized toy). Real MacGyver stuff going on here! The kids have even joined forces and connected their kit with friendâs kitsâjust make sure you have all your parts before the kids leave!Iâve read some other reviews that are little hard on this kit and that it doesnât really teach kids about electronicsâthat this kit it to âcartoonyâ and more of a puzzle than anything. Is this kit fun? You betcha. Is there learning and teaching happening? Absolutely. Are my kids going to learn about Maxwellâs equation, Lorentzâs law, Gaussâ law? Probably not. Iâm an electrical engineer and I can see the fun and educational aspects that this kit provides. If your kids outgrow this and want something more advanced, than by all means get one of the more technical kits that are available. When you were teaching your kids to read, you didnât start with Tolstoy, did you?This is a fantabulous kit for kids and Iâm very happy I purchased it. Itâs well built, well thought out, and is definitely one of those toys that your children one day will blow the dust off the box and tell their children, âLook at this toy I had when I was your age!â

Review: The projects are well defined and follow a good progression in the manual. Overall, there should be more interesting results, more lights flashing, sound generating, motor speeds changing etc. The parts-placement graphing system is a great way to have kids start using 2 dimensional graphs. Colour coding for parts is excellent as are the parts descriptions. This is a very useful kit and it has help our grandson’s interest well; gift was for his 6th birthday. His 4 year old brother is also fascinated by the projects and overall projects they can build.

Review: This is amazing but if you buy the smaller versions, it will get boring too quick. This has the possibility of many engaging projects, even a FM radio. My 8 year old enjoys creating many projects with it and also learns what no to do by reading the books to avoid short circuits. The instruction books are very well made. Good job Elenco 🙂

Review: Se nota que el producto lo hizo algún ingeniero, las prácticas con claras y se sillas de seguir, el tema es que las explicaciones no son tan claras, si requiere la supervisión y explicación de alguien con un poco de conocimientos.Las piezas están geniales, el sistema de conexión es increÃblemente sencillo y cómodo para los niños. Aunque hay que echarle un poco de cabeza al instructivo, al entenderle todo va muy bien.Mi hijo de 8 años está muy contento, lo malo es que los instructivos vienen en inglés, de lo contrario el podrÃa hacer las prácticas solo.
