Thames & Kosmos Signature Series: Electronics Advanced Circuits
Tap into the awesome world of electronics with an advanced system of snap-together electric building blocks. Start out by experimenting with colorful light-up circuits as you dive into the basics of electricity. Children could also install sound modules to generate the sounds of police cars, ambulances, or fire engines.
Get to Know:
Using the Thames and Kosmos Electronics Advanced Circuits Kit and its myriad of cool, constructible components, young, STEAM-inclined children can explore the curious worlds of circuitry and electrical engineering. Filled with its resistors, potentiometers, capacitors, transistors, and so much more, kids as young as 10 could power through over 140 perfectly illustrated projects and master the parts and steps required to complete a circuit.
Both the projects they'll construct and the learning that kids create will be truly supercharged thanks to the simplicity and in-depth opportunities for innovation made possible by Thames & Kosmos! Among several challenges children get to decode are what happens when certain values change within a circuit, and how each component affects the circuit as a whole. Plus, the easy interchangeability of the kit’s pieces makes for endless reusability and exploration for any young, inquisitive, knowledge-seeking child.
Utilizing simple and interlocking pieces, the kit provides a very wide variety of circuitry components for your budding electrical engineers to explore. With no soldering, welding, or risky wiring required, circuit building is a breeze even for young, inexperienced hands. The wide variety of pieces in the kit comprise the electrical components needed to complete all 146 experiments in this manual, with some room to spice them up with a few common household items.
Among the technologies inside this kit are a microphone, which converts your speech to oscillations, a voltage meter, for measuring the strength of a current, and an FM module, which kids can use to build radios—all made possible with simple, snap-together circuitry. Simple but effective, the Electronics Advanced Circuits Kit is engaging and educational for fans of hands-on STEM education!
