Fun Learning Opportunity,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Build Your Own Talking Clock: A Hands-on High Tech Book (Paperback)
I purchased three "Build Your Own Talking Clocks" this past x-mas. One for me and one each for my grand children, ages 5 and 11 years. December 26th we three sat together at the kitchen table and built our talking clocks. The directions and parts and abilities all went together without a hitch. When completed each clock worked and was a great functioning momento of a good time had by all. Highly recommended!
4.0 out of 5 stars
Good Fun,

This review is from: Build Your Own Talking Clock: A Hands-on High Tech Book (Paperback)
My 6 year old wasn't that interested in the electronic details, but he does remember what a transistor and resistor do and how switches work. And after carefully twisting wires together he was rewarded with an actual talking alarm clock.One bonus that he finds fun: there's a control to adjust the pitch so you can have anything from an alto to a bass voice. It does look a bit flimsy, and it was a tight fit to ensure everything went inside without coming apart (wire with tape is less than ideal, but I can't think of an alternative for young kids). But he did 80% of the work himself and is quite proud of the accomplishment.
