I purchased this for my very inquisitive, "mechanic minded" Grandson's 8th birthday. He has literally spent hours with this set....creating the projects in the book plus projects of his own. I took him and his brothers home from school one day and by the time I got to the house, he was already playing with it. There were 2 parts that did not work so I called Elenco and they replaced them free of charge. Definitely one of the most "played with / educational" gifts he ever received!!

This is one of the best hands-on electronic toys made. Kids love to build things that work and make sounds or flashing lights. The circuits are easily described with easily followed pictures. There could be more explanation of the electronic theory involved but Elenco has decided to keep it simple at this stage. The use of snaps mounted on rigid wire, instead of stripped wire in a breadboard, does much to guarantee that each project works the first time. A first grader would have fun with this kit.

Educatioal AND fun! Well built wth logical projects to grow young minds. I found a least one instruction narrative that seemed not to relate to the diagram it referred to, but overall You can't go wrong. Highly recommend!

I gave this to my friends 6 year old son for a birthday present. He absolutely loves it, he even slept with it for a while. Best part is that he does not even realize he is learning how electricity works. A must for kids

This is a high quality kit for kids to learn and play with electronics. Along with basic electronic components it also has components like photo resistor, DC motor & ICs. Highly recommended!

Worked several experiments and they all worked except the am radio. I am too far away from an am station. I will try to get the fm radio part so I can hear this one work also. Very entertaining. I want more parts...

The kids love it and I'm so happy to see them working independently building projects. Only thing I wish is that the IC blocks had some symbolic markings on them to tell what the different connections are for.

This is a good product, well engineered and well made. I would rate it excellent and outstanding except for 1 reason. I was disappointed with the manual that came with it, because it didn't include any theory of the how and why the individual components function, and interact with each other.
