Snap Circuits UC-80 Upgrade Kit SC-500 to SC-750 (INCLUDES CI-73)

My 7 year old loves snap circuits. We started with the 300. Then got the 300-500 upgrade. Now we have this one. He continues to love building circuits. He was excited about the CD that came with it and we got it to work pretty easily, but have done it only that once. He is content to use the manuals and build circuits. We've had a few pieces break on the original sets because it gets used so much. But Elanco will replace the occasional broken piece for free if you call. They have great customer service.

I bought this as an upgrade for my 11 year old son's snap circuit kit.It allows him even more freedom to create many more circuits, And to my son's pure delight, he can now the computer and snap circuits together - his two favorite things in this world.He has learned an amazing amount of information on circuitry from using Snap Circuits - and talks about them freely (capacitors, closed/open circuits, binary circuits, resistors, etc.) just like an old electronics professor. I'm not sure if THAT's a good thing (grin), but it sure is fun to see him to excited about his snap circuits.

My son looooooves these kits. It keeps him off the computer for literally hours, and he actually seems to be learning a lot about electronic components but in a very fun way. He's eleven and having long talks with my hubby who is very technical.

I didn't do it but its good

My grandsons have been receiving regular upgrades to their basic snapcircuits kit, with this being the latest. They love it and are advancing at a great pace with this product!

Just another great addition to our Snap Circuits.

I ordered this kit to upgrade my son's SC-100 kit based on Amazon's product description. The name of the item per Amazon is the "Elenco Snap Circuits SC-100 Upgrade Kit". Amazon's product features state: "UC-30 Converts your Snap Circuits SC-100 to the Snap Circuits SC-300". Sounds like what we need at that point. But it's not...This kit is actually the UC-80 upgrade kit. Amazon's description is incorrect. See below. The Manufacturer Product Description is also misleading. It says it converts the SC-750 to the SC-750 to create 450 new projects. Confused yet? Just wait. The product description below that says it converts the SC-500 to the SC-750 with 250 new experiments. This second description is correct for the UC-80 (the kit that has the computer interface and solar panel) per the Elenco website.It seems Amazon has mislabeled and incorrectly described this item. The outcome is that this kit does not allow you to do 250 or 450 more experiments if you are starting with the SC-100 kit. You first need to upgrade to the SC-500. The UC-30, UC-40, and UC-60 are the kits to use to upgrade the SC-100 per Elenco.These are the descriptions for the "Elenco Snap Circuits SC-100 Upgrade Kit" on the Amazon website:"Product FeaturesGet the additional parts and manuals to take your Snap Circuit Kit to the next levelUC-30 Converts your Snap Circuits SC-100 to the Snap Circuits SC-300Includes 10 new parts including, CI-73 Computer Interface, a solar panel, and more, 250 more projects250 more projectsPart of the extremely popular Snap-Circuits educational electronics series from Elenco Electronics""Product DescriptionFrom the ManufacturerGet the additional parts and manuals to take your Snap Circuit Kit to the next level.

The solar cell and electromagnet are nice but this kit is not worth the price. The previous snap circuits were much better.

It was awesome.
