Snap Circuits Beginner Electronics Discovery Kit

Product Information

With the BRIC kits, kids can start off by building something cool with Lego and then really easily add things like lights, motors, sensors to bring it to life. Kids can start off learning about basic circuitry and then eventually progress to programming their own Arduino robot or smart plant watering device.

Snap Circuits has been praised for exposing young children to elementary engineering concepts. [1] [4] [5] A related line entitled Snap Circuits Jr. is geared towards younger children. [6] The different sets are all compatible with each other so you can combine sets and the company sells "upgrade" sets as well. [7] Instead of simply building a radio or weather station as with a normal kit, kids can do that and then tear it down and build something completely different.

Our innovative product line offers a wide range of kits, in differing size and complexity, perfect for future engineers ages 8+, with a beginner set designed for kids ages 5+.

In this way, kids learn the fundamentals of coding (variables, conditionals and more), and can actually see the effect their coding is having in a much more concrete way, without having to worry too much about programming syntax or the particulars of a coding language. Snap Circuits Snapino– build sophisticated robots and electronic devices with the power of Arduino We also like that Snap Circuits actually prints the schematic symbol and label to each component pretty prominently, which lets kids learn the proper name and symbol for each component. Snap Circuits can also help kids hone various related cognitive skills that will be important in future STEM learning, such as:

The projects in the beginner kits are a little simpler and easier to put together than the regular kits and, perhaps more importantly, they use far more pictorial instructions than regular kits, making it better suited for pre-readers and those just starting to read. Snap Circuits Bric – for Lego enthusiasts So kids who have some difficulties reading may need a little help in this regard from their parents. How Snap Circuits work Kids can easily attach the Arduino to various Snap Circuit components (even parts from other kits) and actually program it to do pretty much anything, such as creating a programmable robot car. Snap Circuits allows kids to build their own circuits and electronics projects using a pretty innovative snap-together design. This means kids can use the components of one kit with another, letting them collect components and build increasingly complex and cool projects.Produced by Elenco Electronics, Snap Circuits is a line of snap-together electronics kits designed to kids 8 and up explore the world of circuits. They can also use the adapter pieces to go beyond the scope of the kit itself, using more complex Snap Circuit components like an Arduino set, to create some really fantastic Lego builds. Snap Circuits Discover Coding– Design cool electronics and learn to code them Essentially, if it involves a circuit and electricity you can probably figure out a way to build it with Snap Circuits.
