Questions & Answers

How long does it take the arcade game to operate once it is built? This question didn't appear to be asked. ?

My name is Matt, and thank you for contacting us. With this item, you receive 200 projects as well as 20 games to build and play. Should we be able to help in any other way, let us know. Thank you for choosing S&ampS Enterprises as your business partner, Elsie World Wide Web

Would you mind describing what kinds of games you can create with this system? What are the steps to play a game once it has been designed?

The helix is not a game you play, but rather a system you build. Different creations that can make noise, light up, etc. are available for you to create using a variety of circuit connections. The game is all about creating something that will work.

What can I expect if I purchased this product? Will it need to be programmed outside of the product, or will it already be set up and ready to go?

This is just a kit for electronics. The program does not require any programming.

How much does this package cost? Does it include programming lessons? It would be nice if I could choose something that helps kids learn how to code. I thank you. ?

It shows how to simulate electrical current in electronics and how it will produce movement, lights, and sounds. I've had a lot of fun watching my kids create and copy these circuit patterns. Because they have handled the larger pieces, they find it easier to make sense of the tiny soldered dots on a circuit board.

This is an educational and entertaining game
5/5

My son is 11 years old and I bought him this for Snap circuits and the Snap Rover are among the products he owns from Snap Circuit. A few of the circuits that he is building already work in the Arcade and he enjoys it greatly. A homeschool parent always looks for toys and games that are fun, but can also be used in the classroom.

This kit provides excellent opportunities for students to learn about electronics
5/5

The design of the project is well thought out. A technology project kit I played with as a kid has left a lasting impression on me. I was reading a book about electronic circuits, when my youngest son (7yrs) asked me about these kits and circuits. Therefore, it was decided to surprise him with the Snap Circuits Project Kit on his birthday after I researched products online and here. The quality and construction of the project is as follows There are several electronic components in the kit and they are embedded in "Snap Circuit" While most of the connectors are solid bridges that make connections between components, there are a few wire connectors as well. The connectors and modules are all connected via male/female snap connectors. As one of the tools for assembling the circuits, the base project board is designed of plastic and serves as the aligning space for the components. A great work book for learning about electronic components and circuits, the project manual has both functionality and impressions. Having work on these projects with my son is amazing because they explain the properties of each component at a level that he can understand.
The Projects build upon one another to allow your child to understand basic concepts and to create circuits using A few pros Circuits can be connected in a snap using quality components. This method is durable and forgiving even with little kids. Each project in the book builds upon the one before it, yet is very detailed, yet easy to follow. The cons are As a result, my son now wants me to buy his all the Snap Circuits Kits.

A good time and a good educational experience
4/5

I bought these things for my eight-year-old because he loves them. The pieces are a lot of fun to learn what they do and why they do them. Two kits have been delivered to him It is the lack of good "advancing" and "growing" kits that has got me so angry. In many of the kits, you get duplicate items when you buy another, so buying another kit means you're getting unused.

He loves this more than anything else, but to be honest, I'm not the biggest fan
5/5

Honestly, I think my husband has the most fun playing this, but our grandson has also really taken to it. number of features you can use makes it impressive and watching my 8 year old grandson actually learn and program messages on his own was well worth the price. You might need someone who has some background in electrical circuits to guide and explain things in the beginning though. As a result of my own efforts and that of my grandson, I am not sure how successful it was. Although this may dissuade some from purchasing, this is not intended to discourage. You just get more pleasure and enjoyment out of it.

The activity is great for STEM
5/5

Christmas will be a Snap Circuit for my daughter, who is 9 years old. The circuits seem to be really fun for her to build. I enjoy seeing my kids explore stuff like this, and encourage them to do things related to STEM. Hopefully, her interest will continue to hold since we might consider shopping for other Snap Circuit kits in the future. is easy to use, includes a lot of examples, and is very interactive (it contains a lot of sounds, lights, and I wonder if she will ask for Arduino in the future.

4/5

This is a product I purchased a while ago and it is still in excellent Snap Circuits are popular with my boys, they play with it often. There is no competition for Snap Circuits prices on Amazon, which comes with free Prime Shipping. You should give this toy a try if your child is interested in the working of things. This is a great deal that won't disappoint you. It will keep the kids occupied for hours!.

With Snap Circuits, you can introduce kids to the world of With Snap Circuits, you can introduce kids to the world of Playing with simple circuits and following the patterns, as well as using logic to build new ones, has helped my 7 year old learn a lot about them
5/5

While using them as hands, you can also place them on your lap Children and adults are invited to participate in activities Basic electronics is also useful for people in their 30s and 40s. I like it a lot.

I like how the fan can be programmed
5/5

I like how the fan can be programmed. When we first looked at it, we thought it was broken so we cleared the letters out of it. It took me a while to remember how to code it, but now I know how. With it, you can put a pre-coded message on it to play a joke on whoever gets it, as it accepts full range of characters and can hold like three different long messages. I find this really We mix and match several of these sets to make a great educational product for our kids. My only regret about this product is that we purposely bought so much plastic material just for it to be an educational tool. In order to produce something with this much engagement power, there must be a way to not use so I thank you.
