Purpose of purchase was to have father and son carry out projects on weekly basis and learn basic electrical and electronics together. What I like about SC is that there's at least some form of guide to follow through. That makes doing easier since we know nothing about it. I also liked the fact that both of us tend to try figure things out why sometimes it does not work. I also observed that after completing some projects, my kid started to tinker a little trying out with different modules and parts to see what happens etc; trial and error. Its also great that the parts are neatly packed and helps train the padawan from start to follow so.
However what I find can be done better are; 1) I think SC can do much better with explaining the parts/modules more. There are several connections to some modules and somehow certain way of connection must be followed. At times it can be connected in a way different from the guide. 2) I feel the guides can do much much better to explain anticipated errors or different configurations and explain the whys and hows. The guide does well with a sentence or two on the Objective of project. But as project progresses, there's more questions than answers with the guide.
Overall, I think its a good purchase at certain price point. Got the item at 40% discount so I can't complain much. At full price I think SC can really do much better focusing more with the guide.
