Snap Circuits Extreme SC-750 Electronics Exploration Kit | Over 750 STEM Projects | 4-Color Project Manual | 80+ Snap Modules | Unlimited Fun

My grandson age 9, and I did 10 of the projects right after he opened the present. At first, he had no idea what it was and was not excited by what he saw on the package, but once we did the first project together and he SAW the He could build an electronic product he was hooked. He also loved being told that this was the beginning of his electrical engineer training. Of course, I had to explain what an EE was. I highly recommend this for children that show an analytical interest in life.ProsFun, easy, well thought outAdults that are not into electronics will learn tooStarting projects are simple and offer instant gratification which hooks the child in for the more difficult ande time-consuming projectsOnce the child understands how to interpret the instructions he/she has no problems going it on their own.You do not need to understand circuits to enjoy and learn from this kit.ConThe box is not sturdy enough to last as a storage case, but you can resolve this by buying a cheap container.The instructions are simple, but unless you understand simple circuits you will find it hard to explain what is going on with the circuit the child made in the project. I think that without an explanation the project is basically lego bricks. Not that this is bad, but it should be so much more. I will be purchasing the teacher guides to see how they enhance the learning experience for the child.I am less of a visual learner than a test learner and found finding the right part listed in the instructions more difficult than it should be. I would have liked better labeling on each peice, but this really is a nitpick.

I purchased this for my nephew (he just turned 10). Him and his sister (7) love playing with this. There are so many experiments provided in the books that there is always something fun and new to create. They have started coming up with their own designs now. We haven't tried any of the computer experiments yet. All of the pieces are very durable. The set required 4 AA batteries, which we haven't had to replace yet after several months of frequent use.I had ordered the frustration free packaging. The Snap Circuits box came inside of a plain brown box. The circuits box opens and inside are two trays with all of the pieces. I originally thought I'd have to buy a separate case for them, but all of the pieces fit securely in the tray so that nothing gets lost. There isn't any room for extra pieces though (if you have more than one set). I'm not sure if this is the same for regular packaging (not frustration-free).The kids have had this for several months now and still love it. I am considering purchasing a different set in the future for them, as well as one for my classroom.

I've owned this for 3 years now. My kids are turning 7, and I've done experiments with them on this off and on over that time. We take our time and will try to modify them based off of their questions.I wish there was more content provided for this series, like including the teachers and students guide (too expensive on their own). I also would like better explanations of what the circuits are doing, as it quickly becomes confusing as a parent to understand how it's doing what it's doing.I've supplemented my own learning with this with the adult 'make electronic's book and kit, which will also be a good transition for my kids as they get older.

They were not kidding...Ages 8 to 101. Great Christmas Gift for my 10 yr old son...He built his first project...of course with a couple of minor changes "help" from Dad. Then, I blew his mind when I rebuild it as a FM Radio. This is the coolest concept in building small circuit projects without the need for high tech equipment like solder irons and permanent circuit boards. I saw this Snap Circuit product on Woot a while back and thought I would buy the PRO or larger Discovery Kit for XMAS. In this version, there are hundreds of pages of experiments from Great to no so great (Meaning it was just OK for that much work), that will keep you busy for hours. But, it is all about the concept of building something with electronic circuits. What a way to get a kid interested in circuit boards.Simple and easy!. Click everything together on the board provided to make it all work. All items are numbered and the Instructions inform you where to place everything. Numbers on the instructions for the blue connections can be complex at times, but it is not rocket science.comes with a CD and connections for the PC......Still have to try those out.My only concern is that the Circuit board is made of hard clear plastic (like a clear plastic ruler only stiffer and thicker). I have asked him to be careful and make sure he works on a hard surface. Almost feels like it can break easily. At this price, I don't want to find out. With something as minor as that, it is still worth it. ll about the eduction and fun of building a project.

This was a BDay present for a 9y/o girl.She had a blast with this. It was mixed emotions when first received, but as soon as the box was open and the basic starter circuits were created, she couldn't stop. She must have gone through about 30-40 of the projects in one sitting. The learning aspect of this is a bit lost on her at this age. She enjoys it for what it is, but she doesn't really show an interest in the electrical diagrams and so on. This isn't too surprising for a 9 y/o, but she is still learning and she seems to get more and more interested in the finer details as time goes on.I could have gone for the smaller kits and worked up, but this was less expensive in the long run. This is a great deal and a great way to teach something that a lot of people never get a chance to learn.

My ten year old was intrigued by this easy to use science kit with many projects. If one component does not work, multiple projects cannot be executed. Unfortunately my kit had a defective part and there is no response from the seller for this despite contacting him through amazon.

Its a great electronics toy for children as well college students. Its helping to learn quite of things of electronics basic and advance model. Simply awesome :)
