Kiddie Electronics: Little Bits

erco

Neat intro to electronics. Modular blocks that use tiny RE magnets to connect together and make electrical connections. My buddy got the starter set in Hong Kong, ~$90 USD. Per the video, "no soldering, programming, or wiring". Not cheap, but it does look easy and fun. Might be a good way to lure kids into our shadowy world. This store's website is more descriptive than the manufacturer's.
