Spintronics offers students (2nd through 12th grade) the opportunity to understand electronics in a way they can understand deeply. Rather than telling them what's happening in a circuit, you can finally show them. Students can feel the resistance, feel the pull of voltage, and watch the current flow. It is hands-on, fun, and easy to learn. It brings electronics units to life, it's excellent for learning engineering concepts, and is great for free choice time.

You don't have to install an app or charge a device: just pull it out of the box and it is ready to go! If students are able to read, Spintronics is self-guided. An instructor should work through a few problems on their own to get familiar with the puzzle book and parts.

Spintronics is for ages 8 to adult - and that is not a stretch! We find that students aged 8-12 are able to get through most of the Act One puzzles. Older students and adults get well into Act Two, where the transistor adds challenge and complexity. Younger kids enjoy the first puzzles and building their own circuits.

We're creating new resources to help teachers incorporate Spintronics into their curriculum. Feel free to sign up below and we'll notify you when new resources are available.
