Electronics for Kids, 2nd Edition

Learn to (safely) control electricity with the click of a button, the tip of a finger, and even the light from the sun!

Why do lights blink? How does a speaker make noise? In Electronics for Kids, you’ll discover the magic of electricity through hands-on projects designed to safely teach the basics while having fun and building cool gadgets.

Ward off intruders with an alarm that buzzes when someone opens your bedroom door, create a secret message machine to communicate with friends, and build your own playable musical instrument with funky digital sounds — all while learning the ins and outs of batteries, breadboards, and more!

Throughout your electronics journey, you’ll:

• Explore how resistance, voltage, and current work
• Solder components to a circuit board to create permanent projects
• Use transistors to create “smart” devices that react to touch
• Turn 1s and 0s into words and images
• Build circuits that help you decide things, like a coin flipper that randomly picks heads or tails

Ready to have the incredible world of electronics at your fingertips? After reading Electronics for Kids, you will be!
