With our oldest grandson's 8th birthday rapidly approaching, I have to say sometimes I think my husband and I get just as much of a kick out of choosing gifts related to his professed future occupations as he does in receiving them! Those occupations have run the gamut from Super Hero to his latest - electrical engineer, and we were so excited when we came across this neat looking kit that would allow he and his dad to work on "over 300 exciting projects" together (305, to be exact!) Well, one recent rainy Sunday we brought breakfast over to our son and daughter-in-law's house so they wouldn't have to traipse over to our place - where the majority of our visiting happens - with the grandkids in the sloshy weather, and afterwards, the boys couldn't wait to show us some of the toys Santa had brought that we hadn't yet had an opportunity to see. GUESS what one of the oldest's was? Yep - this exact same set!

We were initially really disappointed since it looked like we'd be returning what had seemed like the perfect gift, but my son assured me that another of these sets would only EXPAND his fun, increasing his ability to build more elaborate projects. After seeing our grandson's excitement and sense of accomplishment while deftly putting together (with a few reminders from Dad) a couple of different contraptions, we knew we'd struck gold with this set. There are two separate instruction manuals included (I'll list the individual projects in the last couple of paragraphs - there are a bunch, so just skip it if you don't need that much nitty gritty.) If you have a budding electrical engineer in your home, we're betting he/she gets as much enjoyment out of this set as our grandson (and his dad!) already have, with many more hours of "bonding" ahead of them!

My granddaughter had been totally engrossed in Lego products. I would send a more complex kit and it was assembled within hours. I thought if she is so driven by Lego products that snap together, why not something that had more engineering content like my field of electrical engineering. She had shown interest in electrical circuits after a visit to an electrical museum. So, I bought this SC-750 electronics kit and sent to she and her sister. A day later, I got a picture showing her deeply concentrating on the directions text with parts laid out on table. Next, I got a video with her holding her project up and music playing. She had jumped the line in the projects and built a radio; big smile and laugh from her. My hope is that this kit stimulates her interest in electronics. It appears has been realized. It makes her grandfather smile. Kit is a good start for a gift from a parent that wants to encourage a child, especially one that likes to snap assemble toys like Legos.
