The Standard Kit opens vertically into a personalized workstation, keeping all components easily identifiable and accessible. In your kit you will find a portable breadboard carry case which allows you to take your creations on the go; all required hardware and electronic components, which are quality, industrial grade parts; step-by-step instructions, a flash-drive with 9 hours of learning videos, and two reference books. The interactive videos give students the ability to learn at their own pace and provide lectures, demonstrations, schematics, and assembly tips for the projects. With just the right mix of theory, practical helps, and graphics, students will be inspired to want to learn. The guide books provide more opportunity for in-depth learning and analysis through the simple to understand pictures and illustrations, detailed explanations of components and circuits, interesting facts, and “Q-boxes" which answer a variety of related questions.

Publisher's Description of Mand Labs Electronic Series Kit 1 Standard Edition Version 4

Mand Labs KIT-1: The all-in-one Mand Labs KIT-1: STEM Electronics Kit is your most comprehensive do-it-yourself (DIY) learning kit that takes you on a journey of 60+ hands-on projects from fundamentals of electricity to advanced concepts of transistors in electronics and robotics. And everything is step-by-step.No prior experience in electronics is required. As a beginner, you start with simple hands-on projects, learn to use a digital multimeter and grab the basic fundamentals of electricity, including charge, voltage, current, resistance, Ohm's law and Kirchhoff laws.As you advance, you start learning about new components, make more complex projects and progress both in terms of knowledge and skill levels. At the start of book-2, you will be able to build interesting projects such as automatic night lamp, H-Bridge (motor driver circuit used in robotics) and many more.The kit is a great companion for parents who want to provide early practical exposure to their kids, teachers who want to demonstrate the concepts of electrical science & semiconductors, students who want to learn physics by doing, hobbyists who want to brush up their basics.

Who is it for:

  • Middle and high school students
  • STEM educators running maker spaces, physics labs and robotics programs
  • Homeschooling parents
  • DIY enthusiasts and makers
