Our Clap Switch Builder DIY Kit comes with 12 project activity flashcards; 2 Combo Activities and 10 Bonus Activities. Below are the detailed instructions on how to complete each activity.
IMPORTANT WARNINGS:
- DO NOT CONNECT ANY OF THE ITEMS TO THE MAIN POWER SUPPLY. THIS DIY TOY IS BATTERY-OPERATED.
- BE GENTLE WHEN PUSHING OR PULLING THE CONNECTOR WIRES. IN CASE OF ANY DAMAGE, DON’T HESITATE TO GET IN TOUCH WITH US AT toys@schogini.com
- DO NOT TOUCH THE BLOCKS WITH METAL OBJECTS, WATER, OR ANY LIQUIDS!
- ALWAYS ENSURE THAT YOUR HANDS ARE DRY BEFORE OPERATING THIS DIY KIT.
- SWITCH THE POWER OFF WHEN NOT IN USE AND REMOVE THE BATTERIES WHILE STORING FOR LONGER THAN A MONTH.
Notes:
- You have to add 3 AA Batteries(which is not part of the product package) to the Power Block to add power to your circuits. Remove the batteries from the Power Block while keeping the product in storage for more than a month.
- If your activity uses Bread Board, it is always better to practice creating the circuit on Tinkercad before you actually do it using the real parts.
