The “Electronics Lab” by SmartLab comes with a book and 20 experiments. The book is called “Wired!”
“Wired!” explores the basic concepts of electricity. It gives you lots of information about circuits and how they work. It is a lot like the “First Electronics” kit by SmartLab, but this kit tells you about capacitors, resistors, transistors, and lots of other stuff.
In one of the experiments, you make a burglar alarm. Another one of the experiments is about making a traffic light. You learn a lot about circuits while doing all of the experiments.
Overall, I think that this kit is great. My favorite part of “Wired!: Electronics Lab” is the burglar alarm because it was cool to catch my sister entering my room!
