Electronics is hard when your colourblind, you spend most of your brain power trying to interpret resistors so lose the deep learning. This was a magnificent entry for my year 3-4 students to electronics and they were able to apply it to "electrical" electronics very quickly!

I bought this for my grandson and he loves it. It’s amazing how they have created a mechanical representation of electricity with the chains representing the current. So much easier to understand something that you can see. My grandson is only six so needs to be read the instructions but he understands the principles and can create circuits independently. A slight fault was resolved immediately by Upper Story. The only problem is trying to get him away from it at meal times!

I bought this as part of our ideas for home education with my 14yr old son with Sen .
The result has been beyond my wildest dreams, Engagement level is 100%, we read the story together, then my son sets up and solves the challenges, he will try again and again until he is successful . Watching him place the various components so they make up the circuit and then place the chains to enable it all to move and work is simply fascinating to me .
This speaks to the love of clocks and engineering that he holds dear and I would recommend it to anyone with similar interests .

My battery had a defect in it and they shipped a new one out to me right away.

This is a wonderful set, I bought it as a gift for a technically inclined teenager. His comment was “i can feel the voltage!”

Our afterschool program has a strong STEAM focus. We introduced Spintronics this year and it has been the favorite curriculum we have used so far. The students are excited and engaged. We love the literacy aspect as well.

I got this for my little brother and he loves it!
As a computer engineer, I found the concept really compelling.

I bought this for my son's 12th birthday. He's very mechanically inclined and immediately fell in love with this set. He loves the components and how they work. He's been working through the instructions step by step and excitedly tells me whenever he gets to use a new component. This is a great way for kids (or adults) to learn about electricity, physics, and how systems interact and work together. Can't wait to get my son the other sets, as he progresses.

My son is 9 and can sit for hours playing with these. I’ve never seen him so focused. Everything is so well made too.

My son loves it. Great learning tool for curious minds.
