Oyvind Dahl built his first circuit at age 14 and has been passionate about electronics ever since. Dahl has a Masters degree in Electronics from the University of Oslo, writes technical guides for Tek.no, and travels the world while teaching workshops in electronics. He also writes popular, beginner-friendly tutorials at www.build-electronic-circuits.com."

“Beautifully designed.”—Boing Boing“Enlightening and fun.”—The MagPi“Chock-full of photographs to help guide young learners along, this book is a great jumping off point for those who are interested in learning about simple circuits and electricity.”—School Library Connection“Electronics for Kids continues the No Starch Press tradition of publishing smart books that make STEM topics accessible and encourage kids to think.”—Homeschool.com“Electronics for Kids is a fantastic tool for diving into the world of electronics and circuitry.”—Vivify STEM“There’s just the right mix of reading and hands-on projects that I’m confident the kids won’t get bored. Even better, the projects won’t insult their intelligence… they feature real components, a real breadboard, and actual schematics. I have no doubt that young readers will finish this book with a solid understanding of the basics of electronics and maybe even a desire to go further and learn more… a win for a parent or a teacher!”—GeekDad“This kind of book is the cure for the sense of depression you feel when you go to the toy store and look at the “science” section and everything you see is crap. Just get this book.”—ScienceBlogs“The author has pulled off a tremendous balancing act by creating a book that is fun and interesting, that has the reader building things and making stuff happen right from the get-go, and that manages to explain the underlying theory without talking down to the audience.”—EE Times
