Cambridge Brainbox 900 Explorer 2 Electronics Kit

Design electric circuits, turn your PC into an oscilloscope, build a flying fan, produce sirens, build an FM radio, build a rain detector, burglar alarm and program a 7 segment display with this fabulous Cambridge BrainBox Kit containing over 900 experiments.

The Explorer 2 Electronics Kit now has software that converts
your computer into a oscilloscope. Using this you can explore the
wave forms produced buy the circuits and see the results of any
changes you make to the circuit.

The Cambridge Brainbox 900 Explorer 2 Electronics Kit is designed to build upon the skills already learnt in primary school and to increase the student’s knowledge of the principles of electronics. The kit could be used to enhance the understanding of Key Stage 3 and 4 electronics it is that comprehensive.

The kit has over 60 individual components including transistors,
resistors and capacitors. Circuits in the instruction manual range from the basic, lighting a single bulb, and progresses through using pre-programmed sound modules to building an FM radio.

Students can experiment by designing their own circuits such as
how to control events like switching on a bedroom light when the
daylight fades or using a magnetic sensor to see if a window has
been left open.
