We advertise on a variety of platforms including social media and internet search providers.

That's helpful because it allows the platform to indicate whether our ads resulted in purchases or not. Then we can optimize the way we serve ads so that we aren't wasting money on ineffective ads. The platform also isn't driving you crazy with completely irrelevant ads. This doesn't make you get any more ads, it just makes the ads more relevant to you.
It's the complete story of Natalia, with 149 puzzles ranging from beginner to intermediate to advanced. You'll never see electronics the same way again.
Spintronics Act One: 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 Act Two: Continue Natalia's time-winding adventure and help her build more advanced spintronic circuits for the town of Little Hope. This Act Two kit begins where Act One leaves off. New parts including transistors and inductors open a vast frontier of new possibilities. The puzzles also grow more challenging, with 82 more puzzles ranging from intermediate to advanced.
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.

Spintronics Act One
Not opened yet as Xmas present
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.
Il n’y a pas d’autres mots que incroyable !
Très bon "jeu", mon fils et moi nous adorons
We bought this for our son's 6th birthday. We knew it was going to be a little advanced, and so would need to be something we did together. But the graphic novel story that unlocks different parts of the process is brilliant. He has already learned so much about how circuits function and we've barely scratched the surface of the journey. High quality pieces, a great story, and something we are all very excited about!
J'apprécie vraiment me creuser la tête pour résoudre les énigmes. La transposition de l'électricité en mécanique est très bien faite. Bravo.
Le délai de livraison fut un peu long mais tout était vite oublié. Ce jeu ravit petits et grands.
J'adore. J'ai mis 3 jours à assembler les chaînes. Et je suis déjà bloqué au défi 3 !
C'est avant tout un plaisir que de suivre l'histoire et les "énigmes". Ce que j'aime avant tout c'est le côté plaisant qui est très développé. Je ne suis pas fan des jeux éducatifs, quand ça n'est pas vraiment fun, mais là, pari réussi.
