Praise for the first edition of Electronics for Kids:
“I learned and retained more in this single book than I can recall learning from my own science teacher. Most importantly, I loved reading it. I often took it to work with me in my bag.”
—The Huffington Post
“There’s no better way to learn than by doing. So go ahead, turn the page and begin your adventure into all that electronics has to offer!”
—Joe Grand, from the Foreword
“Beautifully designed.”
—Boing Boing
“Enlightening and fun.”
—The MagPi
“A great jumping off point for those who are interested in learning about simple circuits and electricity.”
—School Library Connection
“Electronics for Kids continues the No Starch Press tradition of publishing smart books that make STEM topics accessible and encourage kids to think.”
—Homeschool.com
“Electronics for Kids is a fantastic tool for diving into the world of electronics and circuitry.”
—Vivify STEM
“There’s just the right mix of reading and hands-on projects that I’m confident the kids won’t get bored. Even better, the projects won’t insult their intelligence… they feature real components, a real breadboard, and actual schematics. I have no doubt that young readers will finish this book with a solid understanding of the basics of electronics and maybe even a desire to go further and learn more… a win for a parent or a teacher!”
—GeekDad
“This kind of book is the cure for the sense of depression you feel when you go to the toy store and look at the “science” section and everything you see is crap. Just get this book.”
—ScienceBlogs
“The author has pulled off a tremendous balancing act by creating a book that is fun and interesting, that has the reader building things and making stuff happen right from the get-go, and that manages to explain the underlying theory without talking down to the audience.”
