Snap Circuits Extreme SC-750

If you’ve got a serious interest in electronics and taking an in-depth look at how it works, then this Snap Circuits Extreme Electronics kit is for you. This set gives you a firsthand look and allows you to actually ‘see’ the electrical signals in the circuits, thanks to specialized software.

With the provided software, you are able to ‘see’ the electrical signals in circuits, similar to what an electronics engineer would do using oscilloscopes and spectrum analyzers. There are over 750 projects to build, or simply create your own experiments or projects.

Color-coded parts help to put the projects together efficiently. With this kit, you have the possibility of covering the practical principles of electronics in your own home or school. The information learned with Snap Circuits can last a lifetime and is both practical as well as fun.

With more than 70 computer interfaced experiments, Snap Circuits includes a large collection of materials to work on, which will provide countless hours of activity.

The products include:

– Easy to follow instruction manual
– Build over 750 experiments with 80 parts
– Experiments included: sound activated switch, lie detector, adjustable light controller, am radio, rechargeable battery and many more
– Parts included: photoresistor, power amplifier, variable capacitor, analog meter, solar cell, computer interface, full-color manuals

No tools necessary; all parts are mounted on plastic modules which easily snap together, making this set simple to use.

Pros:

For the scientifically minded child, Snap Circuits allows for that great integration between learning and play. There are 5 books of experiments, and each project is clearly color-coded making it easy to remember what you’re working on.
The pieces are sturdy and well made. This set gives children the resources necessary to create a project and see it to its completion, and there are opportunities to take the project and modify it by replacing parts, etc.

All of these facts make this a fun but functional and educational electronics set with countless options.

Cons:

Overall, there is nothing truly negative about this set which manages to combine education with play.

If there are any issues, perhaps it’s that there are a few times the manual may be a bit unclear, however, once you’ve worked with the set and gotten used to the wording the experiments are easy enough to follow.

When you consider the number of experiments and opportunities for discovery, this one set includes, this is certainly worth the investment for the right child.
