Testimonial from the author Mr G. Art Gibson:

When I first started teaching electronics technology, my classroom was… quiet.
Too quiet.

I was giving lectures, students were reading from the lesson materials, but I could tell — their minds were somewhere else. Eyes down, half-listening, just waiting for the bell.

Then I created my first Mr Circuit Lab — and everything changed.

I’ll never forget the first day I brought the labs to class. One of my quietest students, who’d hardly spoken all semester, was suddenly leaning over his desk, carefully connecting wires on the solderless circuit board. A few minutes later, his eyes went wide and he called out, “It’s working!” The LED blinked on, and it was like a switch flipped — not just in the circuit, but in the room.

Soon, every student was fully engaged — hands busy, minds focused. They were building real, working circuits right at their desks with just a 9-volt battery. No expensive lab equipment. No waiting in line for power supplies. Just pure, hands-on learning.

They loved exploring the online resources that came with each lesson, and the quizzes? Perfect. Students could print their results with their names on them, making grading easy for me and giving them proof of what they’d learned.

Word spread fast. Before long, my class went from half-full to packed, with students telling their friends, “You have to take this class — it’s actually fun!”

Mr Circuit Labs didn’t just make my job easier. They transformed my classroom into the most exciting place on campus.

If you want your students to light up — literally and figuratively — try the Mr Circuit Labs.
