Electronic designers for children: selection criteria

The market offers a huge range of exciting and original toys that will not only entertain, but also improve the mental abilities of the child. At the peak of popularity of electronic designers for boys. With the help of children's sets, you can attract the interest of the child to physics in an easy and unobtrusive manner.

With the help of such designers you can understand the principles of electronics and electrical engineering, as well as discover the wonderful world of science and technology. Electronic constructor for children is an interesting, exciting and educational game. Its main task is to develop an interest in various physical processes and phenomena. Step by step, the child will comprehend the science with the help of diagrams and visual aids, doing it at ease and with pleasure. After becoming acquainted with such products, the designer can become the child’s favorite toy, especially if he is interested in electronics.

Such a purchase will also be useful for teenagers and high school students. Experts recommend purchasing this type of constructor for students in grades 6-11. Many schoolchildren face difficulties in comprehending the exact sciences, and a visual aid will help to learn many physical principles from personal experience.

Modern schools, which use advanced and innovative methods in the educational process, are often used by such designers during practical classes in physics. Experts from the field of education at a high level rated these designs. The latest kits have been developed with the latest advances in science and technology.

Manufacturers have taken care not only about the interest of the child, but also his safety. For the manufacture of parts used plastic top quality (environmentally friendly material), as well as reliable connecting elements and modern components of electronics, such as speakers, LEDs, switches, capacitors and microcircuits, which necessarily need to assemble mechanisms.

On the shelves of domestic stores presents a wide variety of sets of children's designers for boys. Educational game for students of junior, senior and middle classes based on the laws of physics, radio control and electronics. Work with an innovative designer is much more interesting than a standard school lesson. Electrician is an amazing and at the same time difficult topic that will play with new colors when meeting with electronic designers.

Of the elements included in the build, assembled working electrical circuits. Depending on the goal, you can make a device that performs the functions of a radio receiver, a bell, an alarm, and other automation.

The main feature of such designers is that all connection processes do not require soldering. A child can assemble a full-fledged electronic mechanism without inhaling the harmful fumes released during the work of the soldering iron, and without fear of getting burned.

Manufacturers offering a wide range of kits claim that this is not just a toy, but a base for experimentation that will interest not only children, but also adults. Working with a designer will help you gain new and refresh the already existing basic knowledge and skills in the field of engineering.At the same time the process will be much more interesting and interesting than reading technical and educational literature.

For the convenience of buyers on the models must specify the age limit, which range from 5 to 55 years. A scientific experiment conducted with a child will help to get closer to him, find a common language, and also develop positive male traits in him that you will definitely need in adult life.

Using modern designers, everyone with little effort and experience has the opportunity to independently assemble about a thousand different electrical circuits, understand their principle of operation and understand the circuitry. Kids' kits have included special manuals with pictures and clear text. With their help, the child will be able to assemble the mechanism without assistance.

For safety in the process of work, alternative energy sources are often used, such as, for example, solar panels. Also as a power source in the kit are batteries and capacitors.

Given the growing popularity of electromechanical designers for children, an already rich and multi-faceted range is being updated with new products. Innovative techniques and technologies are the basis for the development of new original sets that can surprise sophisticated modern customers.

All available products can be divided into separate groups depending on the characteristics.

• Amount of elements. There are three main varieties of this criterion: small sets (the number of schemes has from 15 to 40 options), medium sets - from 50 to 400 schemes in the package and large (minimum number of schemes - 500). The more details, the more opportunities for practical and research work at home and the creation of various devices, such as watches, radio stations, alarms and other equally interesting things.

• Visual perception. There is a separate type of constructors. The kit includes parts, the combination of which includes an extremely functional background, without aesthetic effect. Such an electrical designer is aimed primarily at developing mental abilities and obtaining new knowledge. The second type is more entertaining - this is game sets. After assembly, each model will be considered as full-fledged, both from a technical and architectural point of view.

• The age of the child. When drawing up "smart" sets, manufacturers take into account the age characteristics of the child or teenager. In the product catalogs there will definitely be electrical designers for elementary school children, middle school students and even graduates. The higher this figure, the more difficult the assembly and work with sets.

• Functionality and features. Desktop designers may vary in assembly options. In the description of the product must be attached list of experiments that can be carried out with a specific set. Also here there are options with solar panels and other original parts. Depending on the subject, you can assemble a typewriter, robot, switch or any other device.

The practical part will be more useful and more interesting than studying school textbooks. For children with scattered attention, it is recommended to choose simple options, and for beginners, such designs so that the assembly process is more like a game than a science project.In this case, you need to pay attention to the kits for the assembly of various vehicles.

Among the rich assortment, some kits are in special demand in the Russian market. Below are the most popular and popular options. The rating was based on customer reviews, as well as the opinions of experienced experts.

The electronic game of domestic production will not only interest and entertain the child, but also help to discover and develop his talent. This set is suitable for the curious and active boy from 5 years.

The main purpose of the designer is to draw attention to the technological world and clearly demonstrate that you can assemble a working electronic device yourself.

In drawing up the set, manufacturers abandoned the use of complex schemes, abstruse terms, and other things that could alienate and deprive of interest. Everything is designed as simple as possible, easy and understandable. After meeting with the designer, the child will definitely show an interest in physics and will be happy to discover new sides of this amazing world.

Inside the package, everything necessary for assembling devices and conducting fascinating experiments has been collected. Here you can find sensors, lamps, diodes, chips, buttons and other essential elements. To assemble the simplest device will take just a few minutes.

There are no adhesives and solders. Elements securely interlock with each other at the expense of special elements. If an error was made in the assembly process, then disassembling the structure and assembling it again is not difficult.

Small parts, LEDs and wires come with a margin - they will be needed if one of the components is lost during the experiment.

To help the child in the kit is an informative book with colorful and clear illustrations. The training literature shows how to design devices on a breadboard. Also, the manual will help to correct mistakes in the process.

Each design, assembled with the help of elements from the designer, has interactivity. This is a reaction to external actions, for example, such as touching, pressing and other types of manipulations. A total of 20 experiments are available, differing in complexity.

The set is intended for schoolchildren from 8 years old, however it will be interesting for high school students as well as students. This is the perfect gift for those who want to understand the world of modern electronics. All elements are assembled on the board without soldering. As a power source is attached battery "Krona" 9 V.

The main goal of the designer is to teach the user the basics of electrical engineering. In the book, which is included in the kit, the principles of operation of electric current, resistors, circuits, transistors and other elements are indicated. Also in the collection there is a reference material that will definitely come in handy in the process.

Options and features. The designer includes 140 real components, including sensors, wires, capacitors and other necessary elements. Each part can be inserted and removed from the board an unlimited number of times.

The kit is completely safe to use. Carefully selected materials were used to make each piece.

If you plan to explore the field of radio engineering and electronics, but not even basic knowledge in this area, you should pay attention to the designer "Matryoshka". In the set you can find a prototype board, various radio components, as well as the Arduino Uno platform. As a presentation, manufacturers supplemented the products with an educational and understandable brochure. With its help, you can independently assemble an electronic device from scratch. The instructions indicate the basic concepts of electrical engineering and the theoretical part in this direction.

This set is presented in various trim levels. Designer "Matreёshka X" has everything you need to collect from 8 to 20 working devices. This is the easiest and most compact version of the line. Also, the manufacturer offers the choice of customers two advanced configuration: "Matryoshka Y" and "Matryoshka Z". The kits contain more parts, which means more options for assembly and experimentation.

All of the above sets are made in Russia. It is on the goods of domestic production is recommended to pay attention when choosing products.

A huge selection of designers offers China. Foreign kits attract attention with low prices, but the quality of most models leaves much to be desired.

Practical and exciting designers have many positive qualities. They develop thinking, creativity, motility, logic, form and strengthen technical thinking. To get the maximum benefit, you need to choose the right set. Given the growing popularity of designers, new sets with different functions and tasks appear in stores.

There are certain criteria based on which you can choose one or another option. They are recommended to be read on a mandatory basis before going to the store or making an order via the Internet.

• The number of models. As noted above - the more parts, the more opportunities for assembly. This is the most obvious criterion when evaluating products. A large set will be a useful acquisition not only for the child, but also for the whole family.
• Colour. When choosing a kit, special attention should be paid to painting the parts. Due to the huge demand, not only responsible manufacturers who adhere to GOST standards, but also small unscrupulous companies are engaged in manufacturing products. For greater expressiveness of the company use too bright dyes. Bright shades adversely affect the psyche of the child and can cause nervous irritation.
• Quality. This criterion must be taken into account regardless of the set price, its functionality and subject matter. It is necessary to require the sales consultants to have the appropriate certificate for the toy - an official document confirms the quality of the products. It is also recommended to abandon cheap products. Most likely, these are forgeries or designers, in the manufacture of which they used dangerous and untested raw materials. At the peak of popularity are manufacturers from Russia, Belarus and Europe.

• Age. The age of a child is not only a criterion for dividing products into subgroups, but also an important characteristic for choosing a set, because the less years a child has, the simpler and easier a designer should be. Details in the models should be strong, large and comfortable. For a child of lower grades it is not recommended to immediately buy a large set - it is better to choose a simple version for 15 parts, because in this matter it is necessary to attract the student’s attention, and only then begin to buy additional items.
• You can also buy a set of "for growth". In this case, it is necessary to assemble the mechanisms with the child, carefully watching his actions and helping him in the design process. Studying a complex set with parents, the student will gradually delve into the essence and use it independently. Middle-grade students (10, 12 years old) with the knowledge and experience in the field of design are able to cope with kits designed for high school students.

• Interests. In order for the designer to attract the attention of the child, it must be interesting and fascinating. When choosing a model, it is necessary to take into account the interests and preferences of the baby, even if the toy is purchased for a small child. Before you buy, be sure to talk with the child. You can offer him a choice of several options - let him offer what he liked.

Some parents mistakenly believe that they themselves can understand the wide range, not paying attention to the wishes of the child. However, modern children grow quickly, and at an early age they have personal preferences and interests.
