The SHORT CIRCUITS learning system consists of a lavishly illustrated book (called SHORT CIRCUITS!) which has over 20 exciting projects for you to build. The projects are relevant to electronics in the new millennium and include some projects that are computer oriented. Each project logically follows from the previous one - so while you are having enormous fun!!! - your knowledge is steadily progressing without mysterious gaps...

To maximise your fun and acquisition of understanding, we have included steps on how to modify and experiment with component changes and how they will change the performance of your project. We have also included "bonus" projects for those who want to know more. The operation of each project is fully described. Some of the larger projects include a "Tech Talk" box which goes into circuit description in detail. Nothing is left unsaid.

The other part of what we call the learning system is a fantastic baseboard which you use to mount your projects. All components are connected together by our exclusive spring terminals. They are very easy to use and do not even require a screwdriver. At the back of the book is a paper template which you attach to the baseboard. You push the springs through the baseboard. The template then shows you EXACTLY where each component goes. This makes project success almost a certainty.

Short Circuits Kits Available:
Short Circuits Book: BJ-8502
This full colour 96 page book, which measures 205mm x 275mm is lavishly illustrated with over 100 drawings and diagrams. Each project features components which are "state of the art". The projects are fun to build but, perhaps more importantly, are relevant to the electronics scene in the new millennium. It is a great read in itself and far superior to cheap alternatives.

Short Circuits Project Kit: KJ-8504
The complete kit of parts available separately. This includes plastic baseboard, spring connectors and all components needed to complete every project in the book. No instructions are supplied with this kit as they come in the book which is available separately.
