Hi group, My oldest son, nearing his seventh birthday, has for the past few years been interested in those radio things sitting on my desk, bleeping away. >From time to time he seems to enjoy tuning around the bands in search of all those strange noises from far away and mysterious places. Today he asked me if I could teach him to build some stuff like he had me seen build (or rather - put together) so many times before. Of course, considering his age soldering is still out of the question. I've googled around a bit and apparently there are quite a few kids' electronic assembly kits around, but almost all of them require soldering skills. As an example, here's a kit offered by Einstein's Toolbox: http://www.einsteinstoolbox.com/learn-to-solder-kit.html So, my question to this knowledgeable group is this: are any of you aware of electronics teaching kits aimed at the 7-10 yo age group? I'd think these would be some sort of breadboard assembly kind of kits, using spring-tension terminals to build some nifty projects like sirens, chaser lights, maybe an Xtal receiver (although medium wave has become rather quiet over here in EU)...
Any hints will be greatly appreciated. 73 Glenn ON4WIX K2 s/n 5146 K3 s/n 0192 ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
