Cambridge Brainbox Explorer 2 Electronics Kit

The Explorer 2 Electronics Kit from Cambridge Brainbox is a fun kit that provides details for over 1200 exciting experiments .

The kit is suitable for use at school or home and is designed to build upon skills already learnt and to increase the student's knowledge of the principles of electronics. The kits can be used to enhance the undertanding of Key Stage 3 and 4 Electronics..

The Explorer 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 daylight fades or testing to see if a window has been left open.

There is so much in this set ... but here are a few highlights...build your own FM and AM radio, find out how to control lamps, use switches, use light emitting diodes, series and parallel circuits, find out about AND, OR, NAND and NOR gates, build a flying fan, produce electronic sirens, music, space war sounds, build a vibration sensor, rain detector, light operated circuits, burgular alarm circuits, build a voice recorder, learn about transistors, resistance,capacitors, conductors and insulators etc etc etc 

As with all Cambridge Brainbox kits there is no soldering or trimming required - the kit uses simple brightly coloured components with press-stud connectors. An easy to follow user guide is included.

Age : 10-14 ( adult supervision is required for a child under 8 years of age)

Requires 4 AA batteries - not included.
