Children of our age are very lucky to have such a great product on board for them. Brainbox 500 elk has made the basics of electronics easy to learn and practice. The manufactures recommendation is for ages 8 and up, but at some places it is 6 and up and has many different contents as basics of electronics cannot be confined to few modules.
Brainbox 500 teaches how to create light or ringing. How the engine grunts, or joining the batteries in parallel or series circuits get variations on current. This kit contains more than 500 projects. There is no tool needed to join the components. This is a great jump starts for toddlers who can become engineers of tomorrow with better understanding with the help of this kit. The activation of circuits is by moisture, touch, sound, magnets or light. Out put is depicted in flashing lights, fans etc. This is available at Amazon for $59.99.
Though the usage is great but to me the manufacturer is being very cruel for keeping this price. Since the product is designed for kids, its price must come down to not more than 10 to 20 dollars, for hobbyists to get the benefit too. To me the present price is institutional level price and will not gain the mass attention. Being an electronics man I know that electronics is a complex subject and at the same time it is very cheap also. So I guess the manufactures should not go for huge profit and lower the prices down without compromising the quality.
