Electronics For Kids - Play With Simple Circuits and Experiment With Electricity! by Øyvind Nydal Dahl
No Starch Press ISBN 978-1-59327-725-3 July 2016 328 Pages
When I first got this book, I was curious just how much was being discussed about Electricity and Electronics. I was pleased that its contents range from the simplest “What is Electricity?” to a LED-based reaction game. This book covers things like Resistor Colour codes, Ohm’s law, Soldering, Breadboards, making your own motor from scratch, and much, much more.
I was very happy to see that Øyvind states in the introduction “Whether you’re 8 or 100 years old, as long as you’re curious and have a playful spirit, this book is for you.”, and I can’t agree more. Having been in the situation of trying to teach basic electronics more than once, I wish that he had written this book years ago. Some of his analogies are startling in their simplicity – while explaining the subject completely.
Each project starts with a shopping list, a list of tools (if needed), very detailed instructions and explanations, and ends with a “what if it doesn’t work” troubleshooting section.
I have to give this book a full 5 stars. If you are curious about electricity or have a kiddo who is, this book is a must have for the bookshelf. All of the projects are safe and very inexpensive. Many can be completed using items around the house.
