"An inspiring collection of projects that will spark kids' interest
in electronics. The projects provide clear directions to guide
young makers into a world in which they design circuits that turn
on lights, ring bells, and make bubbles--what more could you ask
for?" --Yasmin B. Kafai, EdD, University of Pennsylvania
"Simply the best book imaginable on electricity projects for kids!
The clear step-by-step directions, engaging graphics, and
interesting activities with easily available materials make this
book a terrific choice for parents and teachers hoping to interest
their kids in science. The author has an elementary school
teacher's understanding of what interests kids and a professor's
insight about what leads to learning and motivation for all ages."
--Richard E. Clark, parent, Emeritus Professor of Educational
Psychology and Technology and Co-Director, Center for Cognitive
Technology, University of Southern California
"Young children are natural engineers, and this book is a wonderful
guide for exploring electrical engineering. Dr. Tofel-Grehl does an
excellent job of explaining each project, and the pictures are very
helpful. This book could be used by both parents and elementary
teachers to engage children in projects that are fun and relevant
to their everyday lives." --Kimberly H. Lott, PhD, associate
professor of science education, Utah State University
