We advertise on a variety of platforms including social media and internet search providers. These sorts of cookies and the information we share lets platforms match you with your social media or internet search account (we can't see that information, only the platform can). That's helpful because it allows the platform to indicate whether our ads resulted in purchases or not. Then we can optimize the way we serve ads so that we aren't wasting money on ineffective ads. The platform also isn't driving you crazy with completely irrelevant ads. This doesn't make you get any more ads, it just makes the ads more relevant to you.
This kit is the complete set. Spintronics Act One and Act Two bring you the whole story of Natalia, with 149 puzzles ranging from beginner to intermediate to advanced. This set also includes the Power Pack, which gives you parts to charge your circuits with more power, along with a puzzle book including 11 additional puzzles.
Spintronics Act One:Begin the time-winding journey with Spintronics Act One. Get started building fascinating mechanical circuits as you solve 67 fun, challenging puzzles from beginner to intermediate difficulty.
Spintronics Act Two: Continue Natalia's time-winding adventure and help her build more advanced spintronic circuits for the town of Little Hope. This Act Two kit begins where Act One leaves off. New parts including transistors and inductors open a vast frontier of new possibilities. The puzzles also grow more challenging, with 82 more puzzles ranging from intermediate to advanced.
Power Pack: The Power Pack gives you parts to charge your circuits with more power: an additional 6 V battery and two low-value resistors. It also includes a puzzle book with 11 additional puzzles.
Spintronics is a new game (ages 8 to adult) from the makers of Turing Tumble where players build mechanical circuits to solve puzzles. Players feel the pull of voltage and see the flow of current as they discover electronics in a tangible and deeply intuitive way, using the first physical equivalent of electronics ever built. It’s fun, fascinating, easy-to-learn, and irresistible to play. You'll never see electronics the same way again.
Spintronics really helped me (as a teacher) understand how electronics work - how all of the different components work together to create circuits. The rotating parts and chain drive system are a great stand-in for electrons in a wire. This is a great product.

My son loves playing with it
The battery broke in the first few hours after opening it. I was able to repair it by taking it apart. The two discs that hold the spring separated. The part where the spring attaches to the disc does not hold well and comes off if the circuit has a short. I applied a little epoxy to the attachment point to hopefully keep it from falling off each time. The repair videos were helpful. Other than that, it is quite a novel and captivating learning tool for my son.

Fun, but really expensive
This was fun for my 9 year old. He's used it twice. I think it was way too expensive for the use it gets and type of toy it is.
