National Geographic Circuit Maker Electronics Science Kit – 60 Hands-On STEM Projects for Kids, Build Real Electrical Circuits, Educational STEM Activity for Learning Electricity & Engineering Skills

All components are Pretty Good Quality. 3.5y.o. boy easy connect wires. LED lights, projector, motors pretty sturdy. Looks like can survive in a child hand.

My 8 year old loves this. We’ve had this kit since Christmas and every time she plays with it, she is engaged for a couple hours at a time. You just need to add batteries. The other night she made a light show with astronauts and space things. Another night she did some kind of on and off music thing. It did not require any kind of help from me. This is a worthwhile screen free educational toy. She loves showing off whatever she makes and has so much fun doing this. It comes with a little book of instructions or ideas that can help a kid get started.

Great product for my 10 year old granddaughter. We sat together and the instructions were very clear easy to build and worked as we expected . A little trouble shooting….operator error, but we figured it out and she was so excited. So many pieces we were creating projects based on what we learned.

My 8 year old nerdy grandson loves this. We are a bit over half way through and he has spent hours with it. The components for the circuits seem to be high quality. There have been a few negatives. * I think to call it over 120 circuits is an exaggeration, many of them a very similar. * There has been a couple circuits that didn't seem to work as shown. * Conceptually the wires between the component are viewed a single wire (positive or negative). But in reality there are two wires inside that can carry both. This occasionally leads to odd results, like a motor spins even though only one wire is attached.

At my church they were having a toys for kids donation thing going. I asked the guy who was organizing it if it was OK if I found a couple of STEM kits or toys to toss in there. He got excited and enthusiastically said they needed a lot more of those. I was excited because, when I was a kid, I was kind of a nerd and my favorite thing to get was some sort of electronics experimenter kit. I would hide out in my room for hours on end enthralled by all the amazing experiments. The thought of some young person with a hunger for knowledge like I was getting excited about it and that got me excited. I ended up buying several different ones. But this one tempted me to rip it open and play with it. I didn't. But it was highly rated and I pray it made some young kid happy.

This was amazing. One of the projects could even defy gravity! The only downside is the price but otherwise it was great.

I’m updating my original review below because of fantastic customer service from the manufacturer. I reached out Blue Marble by email on a *Sunday* and received a prompt reply saying they were mailing me a replacement and prepaid postage for me to send them the broken part so they could investigate the issue. It was ready for pickup by the USPS by Sunday evening! I have not received it yet, but I’m hoping the new piece will last longer than the last one. Original review: First off, this is an amazing toy with so many possibilities and was hours of fun for my son — for one day. Unfortunately, a piece broke off of the main battery unit after one day, so we were not able to use it after that. It’s such a shame, because this one defect prevents us from using the whole set. I wish the manufacturer offered a replacement part; I’d give it 10 stars if I could. It would be well worth the price if it hadn’t broken so soon, but it’s too pricey to order another one. My son is heartbroken; this was his favorite toy he’s probably ever received. I wish I could get a free replacement, but I can’t find a way to contact the manufacturer.

I gave this to my 7 year old grandson for Christmas, and it was a hit. For the most part, it is reasonably intuitive to assemble circuits. There are a few things that require reference to the instructions or are easier to figure out using the instructions. The instruction/information pamphlet included was not lengthy or hard to understand, but my grandson did not have time for them and wanted to dive right in. With some help from me, he soon had a couple of circuits working and experimented with others. I was surprised when he insisted on taking his circuits to a big New Years Eve neighborhood party where he showed it off to other kids who enjoyed playing with it. It is worth noting that the parts seem pretty rugged and withstood all the unsupervised handling without a problem. I would recommend this for 7 to 10 year olds, based on my experience. It is a good value. It doesn't have a bunch of small parts to be scattered about and lost. It is rugged and doesn't require a lot of concern for safety.

Really good circuit maker kit and not too complicated. Grandson loved it. Great item.

Llegó a tiempo y excelente producto

My nephew who is 4 loved this so much. Especially the bubble function, the projector and the floating ball.

This is really a hit with my 9YO. The projects are easy and interesting and the material is durable. I highly recommend for all kiddos that are interested in STEM projects
