The Gadget Inventor Handbook Summary

The Gadget Inventor Handbook by Mike Warren

This book features a series of fun electronics projects that range from easy to more difficult, but none require too complex or expensive components. Many of the components are reusable from project to project. Step-by-step instructions and clear illustrations guide the reader as they create racing machines, 'robots', LED 'throwies', alongside simple, core electronics skills such as creating a circuit and practising on a breadboard. This is a hands-on book aimed at teaching accessible projects, perfect for firing up children's imagination and building their skills.
