Mand Labs Premium Kit with Academy
Targeted toward complete beginners, Mand Labs Premium Kit uses 165 industrial-grade electronic components and tools, two guidebooks, online videos, and step-by-step, app-based instructions to encourage your teen to learn at his own pace. Mand Labs Premium Kit is both impressive and maybe a tad bit intimidating. Yet the 57 electronic project instructions are tested by 20,000 users to ensure that they are intuitive and easy to use. The Mand Labs Premium Kit's award-winning carrying case opens up vertically into a workstation lab with multiple drawers and compartments to house trays of components, tools, and manuals. This case was designed to keep the footprint area to a minimum, with compartmentalized space for all the parts. Indeed one of the most robust electronics courses on the homeschool market, Mand Labs Premium Kit includes switches, circuits, wires, sensors, motors, breadboards, probes, pliers, and a multimeter and does not require any soldering tools.
This course includes a year's access to the Mand Labs Academy. Mand Labs Academy is an interactive e-learning platform for DIY Electronics, with a master course, hands-on projects, and quizzes. The master course includes video lessons, investigative questions, and a progress tracker as your student builds a series of hands-on projects. Each project has a detailed theory manual, step-by-step visual building instructions, and learning videos comprehensively covering whats, whys, and hows. And if your student has any questions, they have access to dedicated technical support. Mand Labs Academy's curriculum was designed by seasoned engineers and educators with over two decades of experience in deep tech, STEM teaching, and more.
For teens who find the science behind electronics overwhelming, we suggest that they merely watch videos for concepts, assembly, and reference. You will be amazed at how many electronics principles they will absorb by just assembling the projects. The guidebooks are useful for an in-depth understanding of electronics.
Mand Labs Premium Kit's course topics cover 20 percent of IGCSE Cambridge Curriculum and 30 percent of AP Physics C, including electricity and magnetism.
No prior experience in electronics is required. As a beginner, you start with simple hands-on projects, learn to use a digital multimeter and grab the basic fundamentals of electricity, including charge, voltage, current, resistance, Ohm’s law, and Kirchhoff laws.
As you advance, you start learning about new components, make more complex projects and progress both in terms of knowledge and skill levels. At the start of book-2, you will be able to build interesting projects such as automatic night lamp, H-Bridge (motor driver circuit used in robotics) and many more.
The kit is a great companion for parents who want to provide early practical exposure to their kids, teachers who want to demonstrate the concepts of electrical science & semiconductors, students who want to learn physics by doing, and hobbyists who want to brush up their basics.
In the premium version, you get three extra projects including IR Security Alarm system, joule thief (drawing energy from a dead cell), and temperature sensor.

Explore Master Course
Our Master Curriculum is divided into three learning levels: Level-1, Level-2 and Level-3.
Level-1 curriculum will build your foundation in basic concepts of current and electricity topics and help you master the fundamentals of Kirchhoff's laws and Ohm's law in both theoretical and practical context.
Level-II will further diversify your knowledge into the field of electrical engineering by introducing you to relays and semiconductors.
Level-III will prepare you to work with transistors, DC motors and Robotics. In the process, you develop a more comprehensive understanding and application of physics laws including, EMI (Electromagnetic Induction) Lenz's law, Ohm's law and Kirchhoff's Laws (KCL and KVL) to analyze circuits, gain prototyping skills and master the concepts of electrical engineering 101.
The curriculum covers the following topics in depth: Charge, Battery, Voltage, Current, Resistance, LED, Multimeter, Resistors, Ohm's law, Series and Parallel Combination, Variable Resistors: Potentiometer, Preset and LDR, Switches, Capacitors, Electromagnetism and Relay, Semiconductors, Diodes, Zener Diodes and Logic Gates, DC Motors and Transistors (BJT).
The total curriculum consists of an array of 60 hands-on projects and activities with detailed reasoning and analysis. This will help you prepare your students better for the following units in AP Physics C, Electricity and Magnetism and AP Physics-1. The module is further complemented by three base quizzes which comprises a mix of questions testing AP Physics standards, basic concepts and experimental acumen.

review by So Every Day
”...well organized, tidy, clever design, thorough supply list, self-paced schedule, flexible as an add on or as a solid part of the curriculum. I’m so thankful for solid science options for a teacher like me, who fears the science at times... ”
