Innovative Design
Hands-On Making

Unlock the mysteries of electricity

This brilliant science kit transforms the abstract world of electrical circuits into a hands-on adventure that children can see, touch, and understand.

With over 30 components including alligator clips, cables, switches, light bulb, and battery box, children become electrical engineers as they build their very own functional torch.

The comprehensive educational booklet explains the fascinating science behind electricity: how electrons move, the difference between open and closed circuits, what happens inside a battery, and the distinction between alternating and direct current. Complex concepts become clear through hands-on exploration.

Once built, this becomes a real torch that children can use for bedtime reading, outdoor adventures, or creating shadow puppets on the wall. The transparent design means the science remains visible.

Created by French innovators Koa Koa as part of their mission to reconnect children with the physical world, this kit embodies the Maker Movement philosophy that children learn best through building, creating, and understanding how things work.

Suitable for children aged 8 years and up.
