I very much enjoyed this book. As one of the 1-star reviewers notes, much of this information can be found online, including at the authors' own website. However, as the archivist for a large library of how-to books and materials for a MakerLab at a school, I support this book quite seriously — it's enabled me to provide short, immediately-useful education to colleagues, parents and administrators at my school, and to provide one-stop shopping for a design/Maker-oriented project for many colleagues. I've watched parents' eyes and children's open in wonder as they begin to understand WHAT electricity is, and HOW it flows and moves. It's impressive, interesting, and eye-opening. And even though this book is //ONLY// a pamphlet, it's especially valuable in a MakerSpace or Design Lab because it's collecting a broad range of ideas from all over the internet in one place. A useful introduction on paper where one can find it, is worth all the unfindable websites in the world.
Don't buy this "book". Don't get me wrong, squishy circuits are great, but this is a glorified pamphlet of very few pages containing information you can easily find online. I can't believe that I paid over $11 for it. Huge waste of money.
Can't wait to use this with my students. An excellent way to help them learn about electricity.
I just used them with my student this week. They absolutely LOVE it!!!
not enough material and background the website is better.
