Electronics

Electronics kits & radio kits for young sparks. Kits to build circuits, buzzers, radios & more. No soldering. Learn about electrical circuits with our fun electronics kits.

Electronics kits haven't suffered the same fate as chemistry sets, being intrinsically 'safer'. The usual voltages are far too low to pose any hazard. Some of them have a flying fan thingy that might fly up into an unattentive child's face, but not with much force. But oddly (in my opinion) electronics kits are nowhere near as popular. Perhaps chemistry sets are just too ingrained in our minds as the archetypal 'science toy' and electronics kits are simply overlooked..? Modern electronics kits are 'pop-n-snap', i.e. components just click together. No soldering, very easy. We think the best one of that kind is the Explorer 2. The instructions are clear, but sadly stop short of explaining how the circuits work!

The Explorer2 electronics kit is designed to build upon the skills already learnt and to increase the student's knowledge of the principles of electronics. The kit is for use in the home or the classroom and could be used to enhance the understanding of Key Stage 3 and 4 electronics.

This Electronics kit contains all you need to get started in electronics without using a soldering iron. It includes step-by-step instructions for making a range of circuits from a fibre-optic light to an intruder alarm. Use a microchip to make a timing circuit and try out QTC - a 'state of the art' electronic conductor.
