About This Book
Reach for this book when you notice your child has a persistent urge to tinker, take apart household gadgets, or ask exactly how a remote control actually works. This classic Usborne guide transforms that raw curiosity into a structured, safe exploration of electronic components. It moves beyond theory to show children how to build real, working devices like moisture detectors and burglar alarms. While the technology has evolved since its 1985 publication, the fundamental principles of circuitry remain identical. The book fosters a deep sense of pride and accomplishment as children see their handiwork come to life. It is ideal for independent learners aged 9 to 13 who are ready to move from simple play to meaningful engineering projects. Choosing this book provides a screen-free way to develop logical thinking and a growth mindset through trial and error.
