Master electronics from the ground up with the official ProTechTrader Make: Electronics 3rd Edition Component Kits, designed specifically to complement Charles Platt's renowned bestselling book. We worked directly with Charles Platt to ensure our kits match his experiments exactly the way he intended — and as a result, these kits are highly recommended by the author himself. Whether you're an absolute beginner, a STEM student, or an aspiring maker, our component packs take the frustration out of sourcing parts so you can focus on what matters: learning, building, and discovering.

Rounding up every necessary component on your own can be time-consuming and overwhelming. We've done all the component shopping for you so you can hit the ground running. Each component is clearly labeled for easy identification and access. These kits are a popular choice for students and teachers in STEM programs, homeschool curricula, maker spaces, and electronics clubs of all kinds.

Kit Option 5: Make: Electronics 3rd Edition Paperback Book Only

Already have your components covered? You can also purchase the Make: Electronics 3rd Edition paperback by Charles Platt on its own.

The first edition of Make: Electronics established a new benchmark for introductory electronics texts. The second edition enhanced that experience, and this third edition brings it to a whole new level with all-new diagrams throughout, new full-color photographs, and a completely rewritten text.

Charles Platt's Learning by Discovery system is designed to make the experience fascinating, fun, and memorable. You learn by building your own circuits — and yes, by making your own mistakes. In fact, mistakes are an important and encouraged part of the process. The book invites you to "burn things out and mess things up" to discover the real-world limits of electronic components. You'll blow a fuse, watch an overloaded LED, and even cut open a relay to see how it works inside.

Full-color illustrations appear throughout the book so you'll always know exactly what you're looking at and how to use it. While Make: Electronics keeps theory to a minimum, it does walk you through Ohm's Law, simple capacitor math, and a straightforward "finger test" to demonstrate how transistors switch and amplify current. You can solder wires to build permanent circuits if you wish, but soldering is not required for every experiment in the book.

Circuits you'll build include a reflex-speed tester using integrated circuit chips, a combination lock, a player competition buzzer game, alarms, timers, and light-activated switches. All fundamental concepts — resistance, capacitance, voltage, amperage, inductance, and the relationship between electricity and magnetism — are demonstrated quickly and simply with affordable, accessible components.

This book assumes absolutely no prior knowledge. It explains every concept in patient, friendly, and meticulous detail. Positive reader feedback has been received from people ranging in age from 8 to 84. If you only buy one book about electronics, this should be the one.
