"STEAM SNIPS™ are electronic building modules that can be combined in an infinite number of ways, creating all sorts of electronic inventions, and best of all, they are designed to appeal to both boys and girls. This kit contains Input modules (sensors and detectors to sense, detect and collect environmental data – sound, light, temperature, humidity, motion, tilt, flame, IR distance, water moisture, ultrasonic, switches, buttons, dimmers). Output modules (produce motion, audio and visual effects that include LED lights, buzzers, speakers, motors, relays, servos and fans). Controller (controls output based on logic and can be combined with other programmable modules to adjust input and output parameters). Along the way, kids will learn what is required to bring inventions and ideas to life including circuitry knowledge, hardware operation and control, software programming and coding, creative thinking and problem-solving." -- Hamilton Buhl.
