Who sells Hobby Kits?

Just reading this month's E&T magazine there's a letter sent to the Editor by a member of the IET asking the following:

 

The demise of Maplin has left a hole in the UK hobbyist's ability to easily access electronic components and kits. RS Components is more aimed at professionals.


Where can I buy a kit to encourage my daughter to pursue this career path? 



Given that the magazine is only published once a month and that I suspect the author may be looking for suitable Christmas gifts for their daughter (and any responses won't be published in the magazine until after Christmas now), I thought I'd pop the question here on our forum for our wonderful community members to answer! ?

  • Lisa,


    Rapid Electronics is worth a look - they have a range of electronic kits, including the Velleman EDU01 Electronics Kit for Beginners, which might be a suitable starting point?

    If that inspires further interest, they have plenty of other kits of varying complexity and supply all sorts of components for other projects.


    I have no connection with Rapid Electronics other than as a very satisfied regular customer.
