Great Kit!
I will get one for my nephew and know he is on his way to learning about Electronics.

But, tell me how Phillip is Magnetically attracting
the box wrenches behind him in the intro?

International shipping fee

A shame the international shipping fee (plus my local taxes) make this prohibitively expensive for me.

I wish there was an “open source electronics kit” project so that I could just head to the nearest parts supplier, buy a lot of gizmos, go home, download the documentation and learn electronics.
