What reviewers said
“Simply the best book imaginable on electricity projects for kids! The clear step-by-step directions, engaging graphics, and interesting activities with easily available materials make this book a terrific choice for parents and teachers hoping to interest their kids in science. The author has an elementary school teacher's understanding of what interests kids and a professor's insight about what leads to learning and motivation for all ages.” —Richard E. Clark, parent, Emeritus Professor of Educational Psychology and Technology and Co-Director, Center for Cognitive Technology, University of…
“An inspiring collection of projects that will spark kids’ interest in electronics. The projects provide clear directions to guide young makers into a world in which they design circuits that turn on lights, ring bells, and make bubbles—what more could you ask for?”
“Young children are natural engineers, and this book is a wonderful guide for exploring electrical engineering. Dr. Tofel-Grehl does an excellent job of explaining each project, and the pictures are very helpful. This book could be used by both parents and elementary teachers to engage children in projects that are fun and relevant to their everyday lives.” —Kimberly H. Lott, PhD, associate professor of science education, Utah State University
