Begin the time-winding journey with Spintronics Act One. Get started building fascinating mechanical circuits as you solve 67 fun, challenging puzzles from beginner to intermediate difficulty.

Spintronics is a new game (ages 8 to adult) from the makers of Turing Tumble where players build mechanical circuits to solve puzzles. Players feel the pull of voltage and see the flow of current as they discover electronics in a tangible and deeply intuitive way, using the first physical equivalent of electronics ever built. It’s fun, fascinating, easy-to-learn, and irresistible to play.

The parts are really cheaply made - two pieces (the battery pull string knob and the capacitor) have already broken with regular use. We’ve had the toy for only two days…I doubt it will stand the test of time. I’ve seen dollar store toys made of better quality plastic. I expected better quality for $225.52.

Otherwise a really cool toy and my son loves it - when it’s not breaking.

Leerzaam en mooi

Als cadeau gekocht voor kinderen van 12 en 15. Op vrijdag besteld en een dag later ontvangen. Met name de oudste vindt het erg leuk en herkent veel van het vak techniek op school. Het ziet er allemaal zeer mooi uit en is goed over nagedacht. Zeer geslaagd dus voor de decembermaand.

Amazing to teach physics

As a physics teacher I've always struggled to make elektricity tangible for my students (12/16 yo). Using spintronics as an extra tool works wonders for the students to create a mental image of terms like current, voltage and resistance. Making the students feel how a resistance tries to slow down the currant works wonders in their ability to reason what would happen if they change something about the circuit.
I'm currently talking with coworkers to see if we can make spintronics part of the lesson plan, because im convinced this is the way to teach electronics at a younger age.
