LightUp Edison Kit
© 2016 LightUp, Inc.
What if you could "see" electricity? Here's a combo app/maker kit that leverages the power of your tablet's camera to make this look possible. The smaller of two kits, LightUp Edison contains a set of snap-together magnetic circuit blocks that you can use to create a circuit. Next, you download the LightUp Learning app (for iPad and iPhone) for debugging or for viewing the function of each part. The app includes introductory project ideas as well. LightUp Lens, the in-app augmented reality feature, helps kids out when things don't work. The Edison Kit projects include a flashlight, an SOS beeper, a voltage meter and more. The larger LightUp Tesla Kit is compatible with the Edison Kit, and lets you make more projects. In the box: a rechargeable battery, a red LED, buzzer, light sensor, momentary switch, a 50k variable resistor and wire blocks.
