No coding. No computers. No kidding. "Don't be fooled by the title. This collection of hands-on projects for tinkering with (and learning about) simple electronics is substantive enough to engross even gadget-loving adults."
-- The Wall Street Journal Electronics for Kids will teach you how electronics really work: what electricity is, how circuits behave, and how and why things like resistors, capacitors, and transistors do what they do. But reading about electronics isn't enough. Across 21 hands-on projects, you'll put your new knowledge to the test. You'll learn to read schematics, solder components onto a circuit board, use integrated circuits, and think in digital logic. You'll build:
By the end of the book, you'll combine everything you've learned to design and build a playable LED reaction game from scratch, not by following a recipe, but because you understand how every part of it works. (Don't skip any chapters if you can help it!) This second edition has been completely rewritten with all new full-color illustrations, clearer explanations, and a complete progression from basic electricity through digital electronics. Open to any page and see for yourself.Ages 10 and up. No experience needed. Check out the table of contents for the full list of projects.

Øyvind Nydal Dahl has been taking things apart since he was a kid. He studied electronics and computer science at the University of Oslo, where he built his own microchip. He went on to develop products including see-through wall sensors and a coffee roaster before founding Ohmify, a learning platform for electronics. He teaches workshops around the world and writes at his website Build Electronic Circuits.
