Very disappointed. Not as advertised.
Don’t expect any instructions, either in bow or online. Well, online there are 8 years outdated instructions if that’s helpful (it’s not).Overall: a waste of money and sad kids. I hope a reputable and ethical company begins making useful kits similar to these. Boooolean.

Awesome, kid-friendly way to learn engineering!
I love that Lights, Camera, Sensors! comes with all kinds of fun cameras and sensor so the kids can connect their code to real-life "smart home" inventions! My nephew is only 6, so he's a little young to do some of this by himself, but kids a little older could definitely keep themselves busy with the Boolean Box, the sensor kit, and the free lessons online on the Boolean Girl website. This is a great gift, and a great way for kids to see how things they use everyday are made!
