Some context: I have kids and I build functional prototypes as my day job.

There are tons of circuit kits out there, but I’ve been surprised/disappointed with how pretty much all of them are designed. So I’ve built out a new approach that uses a graphical sticker on a breadboard to make it easy, but still uses the raw components to make it work so the maker can gain comfort/experience with real engineering.

I also wanted the kit to do something truly interesting/useful. Not just blinking a light or mimicking something else you can easy find elsewhere. This first kit is a fully generative music box that can play millions of different song patterns.

Would love to hear thoughts from the other maker/engineer parents on here :)
