Wheeling, IL (September 30, 2020) Elenco, maker of the award-winning Snap Circuits® line of educational circuit-building toys, announces the launch of Snap Circuits® MyHome. For nearly 20 years, Snap Circuits® has been the "go-to" toy for learning electronics. Now, Snap Circuits® expands its fanbase with MyHome, making electricity relevant, relatable, easy-tounderstand, engaging, and FUN for kids everywhere.
With the mindset that “electricity is for everyone”, MyHome is designed to inspire and empower kids of all backgrounds and interests to learn about power in their homes. Kids ages 8+ can build a house or city building with real, working, 3-D circuits, just like they use every day. With colorful base grids to spark creativity, kids can make their structures their own, all while learning how electricity works in their home. Learn about security systems, automatic lights, alarms, motors that power appliances, and more! MyHome answers everyday questions like: How does the electric company get power to my home? How does power travel inside my walls? What happens when I turn on a light? What happens when the power goes out?
"Both boys and girls love Snap Circuits® and we are so excited about this new addition to our line. With MyHome, we wanted to reach kids who aren't typically tech-oriented, and show them how electricity applies in their own life and it's easy and fun to learn,” says Jim Cecchin, President of Elenco. For long-lasting play value, MyHome includes 25 step-by-step, interchangeable projects, plus kids can design their own structures and circuits and combine with other Snap Circuits® set. Great for home learning and giving kids a break from screens.
About Snap Circuits®: The Snap Circuits® brand has been endorsed by K-12 educators globally and used in schools, libraries, museums, after-school and homeschool programs, STEM and Maker programs, and at home.
