Playz Electrical Circuit Board Engineering Kit for Kids with 25+ STEM Projects Teaching Electricity, Voltage, Currents, Resistance, & Magnetic Science | Gift for Children Age 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13+

My 8 year old son chose this from a long list of possible options for a gift. He thought it sounded fun and cool to play with electricity (safely) and make things happen because of him connecting a bunch of stuff together. He was beyond excited when we received the product and could not wait to open it.The circuitry set comes with the base already put together. The outlying parts such as the bell, spinning light, top spinner, etc. need to be assembled before use. All are relatively simple to assemble and should not take more than 30 minutes before you are ready to begin experimenting. The base has a storage compartment on each side where you can store the wires, magnet, and other accessories.The instruction manual that comes with the set is full of educational insight and 329 experiments. It begins by giving a basic lesson on electricity and circuitry, including how to read a circuit diagram. The next couple of pages lay out the parts list and terminology used in the manual as well as a Table of Contents for all 329 experiments so you can easily find which one you want to try. Every experiment gives you a title, explanation of what the experiment will do and how it will do it, a circuit diagram, and an easy-to-follow numbering sequence for the wiring if you are struggling to read a circuit diagram.They have made it extremely easy to wire up everything, so anyone at any age could easily connect the wires to the base. They use a coiled metal spring for every terminal, so you simply push the spring to the side and slide a wire in. No difficult latching, screws, soldering, etc. When done, you can easily just pull the wire out of the spring without needing to push the spring to the side again.The best part of all of this --- You CANNOT be electrocuted by this circuitry set as sold by the company! The system works on 2 or 4 AA batteries, so it does not have the ability to provide enough voltage or current to harm you. This gives you the perfect opportunity to teach electrical safety without the possibility of someone being hurt. (Note that any modification done to the set outside of what is specifically listed in the manual is not recommended and could result in potential harm)My 8 year old son has already spent hours playing and experimenting. He has had no issues wiring up the most complicated experiments in the manual because they make it so easy to understand, follow, and wire. He's even helped my 4 year old son wire up experiments with ease.Highly recommended educational product for all ages, even adults!!!

Seems to be a pretty fun and versatile kit with many projects.

This product was used to teach about circuits. The simpler circuits were easy to follow, however, some of the more complex circuits were difficult and confusing to follow.

I purchased the electronic set for my grandson, who is 7 years old, for Christmas. Not only has my grandson enjoyed this set his dad, who is an engineer, is also is enjoying the set and the description of electronic definitions and schematic symbols that can be found in the project information that comes with the set. Not only do you have fun with it, you also get real world examples of electronic fundamentals and see them applied through the projects you can do with this set.

My son is very interested in electrical engineering and was starting to wire together parts of toys. After one of his projects started "smoking", I realized I needed to get him something safer to explore this with, and found this set in my search. It really is awesome. The instructions are easy to understand and there are so many options that he hasn't become bored with it. It is also teaching him more in depth about how circuits work. I love that's its complex enough to keep his interest while not being so complicated that he can't do it without constant supervision, since he likes to explore things like this on his own.

We bought several kits for a team building event

11 yr old enjoyed it.

It was very similar to another circuit activity we had previously ordered from the same company. My son enjoyed the first one (the piano) so we wanted another circuit project for him to work on. We should've read more about the product and realized the similarities before purchasing, so that was on us. The product is very good and my son enjoyed it; it was just too similar to a previous purchase from the same company. Would recommend this product if your child enjoys circuits, STEM activities, etc.
