KIT OVERVIEWS
We offer over 120 different kits for using and making in the classroom. These kits for our vehicles and other devices have been graded according to the level of skill and expertise required to construct them, as well as the skills to be learnt.
The Overviews detail whether the kits contain electrical, electronic or mechanical components, and indicate how much classroom time may be needed. They include a description of the aim of the project, and provide an overview of what design, fabrication and assembly are involved.
Most kits require fabrication and soldering, although there are some exceptions:
- Introductory / Starter kits (eg. Simple circuits)
- the No-Solder kits
- the Blue Brothers range include chassis material
- the “With the Lot” kits include body parts / material
- Breadboard projects don’t require soldering
NOTE: We also have information on how to adapt some (basic) kits to be No-Solder.
To access specific kit overviews click on the kit name below and the Overview will download. If the kit you are interested in does not have a downloadable Overview available, please contact us.
