Looking for a terrific way to let children experiment with wires, circuits, sounds, motors and lights?

There are 30 parts, including the new Bluetooth-powered SC Controller and five control outputs. So you can control up to 5 circuit paths together or independently to create different circuits and projects. Note that this kit works completely fine with no app connection.
