Kids put the circuit together themselves, so by the time the lights work they understand why. That makes it easier to talk through ideas like switches, power and connections afterwards, and it gives a real sense of accomplishment for a young builder working on a first electronics project. A good first electronics project before moving on to bigger builds. Find more beginner STEM kits.
