Spintronics : Power Pack

Spintronics is a very interesting and fun puzzle/toy that’s very educational. As a 35 y/o man I am learning legitimate things about electricity and electronics that have already made certain concepts easier for me to wrap my mind around. The first day I got it I spent several hours going through the book of puzzles and coming up with lots of different ways to solve problems and make functioning mechanical circuits. The tactility of the toy is a very important part of what makes it so educationally inspiring, watching and touching the circuits I make really makes understanding more intuitive and less memorized.

All of the components are very satisfying to handle, great care clearly went into the engineering and production of them. They are not fragile, though they ought to be handled with care. I really cannot overemphasize the degree to which I enjoy and am comfortable handling the pieces. When I received mine one of the switches was slightly defective, I reached out to upper story and they got back to me within the hour. Nobody asked me for proof of the defect, and the replacement part was en route to me incredibly fast. Not only is this company interested in revolutionizing education but they are also committed to customer service.

In conclusion Spintronics is a fascinating thing that I have derived hours of mind stimulating fun from and will derive many many more.

Spintronics Act One, Act Two, & Power Pack

I feel like the components lend themselves for students to experiment building mechanical circuits.

The content is great. I have not had a chance to get back to it or to teach it yet, but will this fall. Thank you!

The kids gravitated right to them they come in at lunch just to build and create

Thank you for sending the.mussing kit parts! Terrific customer service!

Spintronics Act One

I got several for my classroom with 5th and 6th graders. My students really enjoyed going through the challenges and learning about the different parts and what they do.
On another note, I have had several of the chain pieces break (good thing there are several pieces), one of the battery packs break the first day, and some pieces have broken just by being knocked off the table (cement floors are not ideal).

Spintronics Act One

My son dived into the game the day it arrived and loved it but unfortunately the batter broke in a couple of days. We have ordered a new one - heres hoping that it doesn't repeat coz we were so excited by the thoughtfulness of the concept of the game itself.
