Make: More Electronics Kit Component Pack 1 Follows Experiments 1-14 from Charles Platt's Sequel to Make: Electronics book | Intermediate & Advanced STEM Learning

Preorder now, expected to begin shipping the week of April 20 The first companion kit built specifically for Make: More Electronics

Component Pack 1 is designed to follow Experiments 1-14 from Charles Platt's advanced sequel to Make: Electronics. It gives readers a faster path from page to bench with the hard-to-source, experiment-relevant parts grouped for the opening section of the book.

If Make: Electronics taught the fundamentals, Make: More Electronics is the next step into comparators, op-amps, audio behavior, light-sensitive circuits, and more sophisticated circuit thinking. ProTechTrader is excited to launch the first purpose-built component pack for this book in collaboration with the Charles Platt ecosystem.

• Built for intermediate and advanced STEM learning
• Created for readers moving beyond beginner discovery circuits
• Curated to reduce sourcing friction and speed up hands-on progress
• Ideal for motivated self-learners, educators, makers, homeschoolers, and labs

Make: More Electronics has been the natural next book for readers who outgrow beginner kits, but until now there has not been a ready-made companion component pack for the opening experiments. This launch closes that gap with a focused kit that helps serious learners keep momentum instead of piecing together an order one line item at a time.

It is especially valuable for students and builders who want to move quickly into analog behavior, amplification, comparator circuits, light-to-sound interactions, timing, and more advanced troubleshooting without wasting time hunting down specialty parts.

Designed around the opening experiments in the book

This first component pack is aligned with the book's opening arc, including:

1. Sticky Resistance
2. Getting Some Numbers
3. From Light to Sound
4. Measuring Light
5. That Whooping Sound
6. Easy On, Easy Off
7. It's Chronophotonic!
8. Adventures in Audio
9. From Millivolts to Volts
10. From Sound to Light
11. The Need for Negativity
12. A Functional Amplifier
13. No Loud Speaking!
14. A Successful Protest

Those experiments move into richer real-world behavior than the original beginner book, which is why this kit focuses on curated part categories for signal handling, sensing, timing, amplification, and more advanced circuit exploration.

What you receive

• A curated component pack assembled to support the first 14 experiments in Make: More Electronics
• A mix of semiconductors, sensing-related parts, amplification-related parts, timing/control components, and prototyping essentials relevant to this section of the book
• Pre-sourced convenience for learners who want to focus on building instead of hunting individual SKUs
• Parts selected to support the educational flow of the book without publishing the entire detailed component bill publicly

Who this is for

• Readers who already worked through Make: Electronics or have similar practical fundamentals
• Teachers, makerspaces, and STEM programs building a stronger intermediate electronics path
• Parents and mentors supporting serious young builders ready for the next level
• Experienced hobbyists who want a structured ramp into the book's early experiments

Important notes before you order

• This listing is for the component pack. The book itself is not included unless explicitly stated in a future bundle.
• This is a preorder launch listing. Expected shipping begins the week of April 20.
• The component assortment is curated for experiments 1-14 and may evolve slightly as the launch batch is finalized.
• If you are brand new to electronics, we strongly recommend starting with Make: Electronics Kits (3rd Edition) before moving into this more advanced book.

Why buy from ProTechTrader

• Trusted source for Charles Platt-related learning kits and component packs
• Fast U.S. shipping and electronics-focused catalog depth
• Built for real makers, students, classrooms, and hobbyists, not generic commodity bundles
