Basic Electronics for Tomorrow's Inventors: A Thames and Kosmos Book

Learn about electronics with fun experiments and projects Created in partnership with Thames & Kosmos, "Basic Electronics for Tomorrow's Inventors" introduces you to essential electronics concepts through fun, do-it-yourself projects. You'll get tips for setting up your home workbench, safely handling materials, and creating a variety of entertaining gadgets. All of the projects and experiments use inexpensive, readily available electronic components and different types of breadboard, which creates a plug-and-play environment for you to build electronic circuits--no soldering required!
"Inside you'll find: " "Things You'll Need"--lists of all the electronic components and equipment required for each experiment "A Circuit Diagram"--shows how each of the electronic components are connected to produce the experiment "How the Circuit Works"--identifies the building blocks used to make the circuit and helps you read circuit diagrams "Breadboard Layout"--close-up photographs that guide you in building each electronic circuit "Time to Experiment"--explains how to get your experiment working
"Step-by-step projects include: "
