    I bought this set for part of my homeschooling program for my elementary age kids. We continue to use m it a couple of times each month. The instructions are easy for them to follow and they easily spend hours trying the different circuits provided. They like to get it out to show their friends when they come over. It’s such a great way to offer my kids something they find fun, but also educational
