Le jeux est fabuleux et vraiment bien fait. Petits et grands s’amusent beaucoup en apprenant c’est génial! Merci et bon succès à vous!

It’s amazing - lets students actually FEEL what things like resistance in a circuit means. It shows current in a meaningful way. And what an ammeter measures. I’m just getting started into the engaging story - I haven’t even gotten to the other components of the circuit yet, and I’m completely hooked. My students will understand electricity in a much more meaningful way than when I teach them with conventional circuits. I’ve got my kids at home working through it. I”m so excited to use it in class!!!!

Was a gift for my grandson who became 7 years old. He loves his present and finds enough challenges in it.

It was so nice to finally have a way to understand electricity principles in a different way!

Brilliant. Great shop and great products
C
Wonderful production. The puzzles lack suspense and the ammeter need a vibrate sound instead of a screech. The junctions also need better explanations.

I bought this for my grandson's birthday, he's absolutely thrilled with it

As an educator I always seek innovative teaching tools. The Spintronics set by Upper Story has been a remarkable addition to my classroom. My students, having completed the Lego WeDo set, were ready to move on to Micro:bit. However, they were too young to grasp the abstract concepts of electricity typically taught with standard electric sets. Spintronics bridged this gap perfectly.
Spintronics provides a highly visual and tangible way to understand electricity. Inspired by steampunk aesthetics, its design adds an element of mystery and makes the set incredibly attractive and engaging for young learners. The mechanical metaphor used in Spintronics allows children to see and feel the components interact, simplifying complex concepts like current, resistance, and voltage.
The combination of steampunk charm and a hands-on approach kept my students motivated and eager to explore. They quickly grasped the mechanical metaphor, understanding how the parts worked together to mimic electrical circuits. This method offered a clear and quick way for them to comprehend fundamental electrical concepts, something that traditional sets often struggle to achieve with younger audiences.
The Spintronics set encouraged exploration and experimentation, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation for how electrical systems work.
