Cambridge BrainBox Primary Plus2 Electronics Kit For Kids 8+ Years
Three kits in one! Cambridge BrainBox Primary Plus2 Electronics Kit now includes all the parts from the original Primary Plus kit with the addition of the parts from the Primary 2 kit and the Sensors and Alarms kit. Ideal for the School as topics go beyond the requirements of the National Curriculum and are very suitable for use in after-school clubs as well as in the classroom. For the home user, the extended range of experiments offer a greater insight into the world of electronics and gives the kit more interest and appeal.
It is designed to teach the principles of electronics and is for use in the home or the classroom. Your child can combine over 40 components in hundreds of different ways to carry out experiments that range from simple circuits to theft alarms. Each component snaps on and off the plastic baseboard making this a perfect first electronics kit for children.
How do the parts fit together? All 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.
What instructions are provided? A manual showing all the circuits that can be built with the kit is provided.
