From a basic closed circuit to logic gates, with a levitating ball and launching copter along the way
The full-colour guide covers every project with circuit diagrams and clear connection instructions. Scan the QR code on any page to watch a video tutorial if reading isn't clicking. Between projects, 'Did You Know?' facts explain the real-world technology behind what was just built: a doorbell, a TV remote, the combination lock on a school locker.
Components connect with snap-in wires and no tools are needed at any point. A new project is usually ready to test within a few minutes.
The kit is built around moments that stick: a ball floating on a column of air, a copter that launches when your child flips a switch. Children tend to remember circuits that do something unexpected.
Thirty-six guided circuit projects, seven activities including crosswords and mazes, and two open-ended Design Your Own Circuit pages at the end. Every component is reusable.
The main guide has step-by-step circuit diagrams and QR code video tutorials. There's also a separate Learning Guide with Circuit Science explainers and history facts about the components being used.
36 guided circuit builds and 7 activities in a full-colour illustrated guide
Projects are ordered by complexity across five stages. Here are a few from different points in the sequence.
Use controlled airflow from the multifunction module to hold the foam ball suspended mid-air above the funnel.
Learn: Airflow, Bernoulli's principle
Attach the copter to the spinner module, flip the toggle switch, and watch it launch off the base and into the air.
Learn: Electric motors, switches, lift
Combine the RGB light, fan, and bubble wand into one circuit. Bubbles glow and shift colour as they float through the light.
Learn: Parallel circuits, light and colour
Attach the vacuum tube and switch the module to suction mode. It's strong enough to pull paper scraps across the table.
Learn: Air pressure, vacuum mechanics
Both the toggle switch AND the button must be activated at the same time for the RGB light to come on.
Learn: Boolean logic, AND gate
Write down what you want your circuit to do, draw the diagram, then build and test your own original idea.
Learn: Circuit design, creative engineering
Plus 30 more projects including a traffic light, a two-switch copter launch, a vacuum cleaner with adjustable power, fan art, and circuit puzzles
