Snap Circuits Extreme (SC-750) by Elenco is an educational electronics kit designed for hands-on learning, targeting ages 8 and up. It contains over 80 snap-together parts, allowing users to build more than 750 projects, including FM and AM radios, digital voice recorders, burglar alarms, doorbells, and electronic games. The kit expands on the SC-500 model by including additional components like solar cells, electromagnets, vibration switches, and a computer interface for 70 PC-based projects (PC-only software, not Mac-compatible, though a similar Mac version is available separately).
Key features:
• Components: Over 80 parts, including a solar cell, electromagnet, vibration switch, analog meter, recording IC, FM module, transformer, and 7-segment LED display.
• Projects: Covers basic circuits, motors, resistors, capacitors, transistors, integrated circuits, diodes, and advanced topics like electromagnetism, radio, and computer-interfaced experiments (e.g., strobe lights, transistor AM radio).
• Educational Tools: Includes five project manuals (covering projects 512-692 and CI-73 for computer projects) and a 137-page Extreme Student Guide with quizzes for classroom or homeschool use. A Teacher Guide is also included for educators.
• Safety: Features Elenco’s patented Circuit Safe™ technology for safe circuitry. No tools or soldering are required; parts snap together on a plastic grid.
• Power: Requires four AA batteries (not included).
• Storage: Comes with a durable case and custom foam inserts for organized storage.
• Awards: Snap Circuits products have won awards like Toy of the Year (TOTY), ASTRA’s Best Toys for Kids, and Dr. Toy’s 100 Best Children’s Products.
• This kit also includes an AC-SNAP Power Supply for Snap Circuits. It replaces the batteries used for projects.
The kit is widely used in schools, libraries, museums, and STEM programs, endorsed by educators for teaching electronics principles. Note that the computer interface software is PC-only, and Mac users can find a compatible alternative at Faber Acoustical’s SignalScope site.
