Engineer in training

What a difference a week makes. When we first got the circuit kit a week ago I was a little concerned that it would be too difficult for Jr scientist A to do much on his own (after all, it was marketed for kids twice his age). But after a few days of playing with it, not only is he able to manipulate all the pieces, but he's started making working circuits all on his own (he made the one in the picture without any help - note that he only put down the pieces necessary for the circuit). He's even starting to learn to use the diagrams in the manual to make circuits. He's still having trouble identifying short circuits, but it's been amazing to see how quickly he's picked up everything.
