Cambridge BrainBox Explorer2 Learning Electronics Kits For Kids 10+ Years
The Cambridge Explorer2 Electronics Kit now has software that converts your computer into an oscilloscope. Using this you can explore the wave forms produced buy the circuits and see the results of any changes you make to the circuit. The kit has over 60 individual components including transistors, resistors and capacitors. Circuits range from the basic, lighting a single bulb, and progresses through using pre-programmed sound modules to building an FM radio. Students can experiment by designing their own circuits such as how to control events like switching on a bedroom light when the daylight fades or using a magnetic sensor to see if a window has been left open.
How do the parts fit together? The parts are designed for quick and easy assembly, all components being connected together with press-studs on a baseboard. Very little skill is required to assemble the components which make this kit suitable for young users.
A manual showing over 900 circuits that can be built with the kit is provided.
