Cousin fun
We had this as a project for the 7 and 9 year old during the holidays. They had help from their older cousins. It was a great group learning experience and the kids really liked the end product.

Enjoyed her gift
It was a gift for my granddaughter. She sent me a photo of her finished flashlight yesterday. It was challenging for her, but she enjoyed the project.

Had a blast
our grandaughter and her daddy had a blast putting this together. She said it will be perfect during a hurricane - don't have to worry about batteries!

All by himself
My 12 year old grandson loved this. He enjoyed putting it together by himself, his dad was there if he needed it, but did it all by himself.

Cool idea
the idea was great. once it's assembled the flashlight works really well. the exercises working through the construction are good too.

My son loved it
Bought this for my 7 year old since my husband wanted a project they could do together. He needed help with most of the steps (which I expected since it's above his age level) but he had a fun time and it's asking for more Kiwi kits. I would say my biggest criticism is that the wires do not stay in the bread board very well so you need to be very careful about making sure everything is in place before screwing the case together. The crank handle was a bit difficult to push all the way on the motor, but otherwise no other issues with putting the flashlight together. Very clear instructions. And i would agree with another comment that said a single piece of sticky foam for the window probably would have been easier to use.

Well designed
Very well designed and there were extras of some of the parts. These extra parts were used to correct assembly errors!

Impressed with the booklet
The booklet that came with the flashlight explained everything really well - like what's a capacitor? Make more like this!!!

My 9 year old did it on his own
My 9-year-old son was able to assemble most of it on his own. We did have to trouble-shoot the bread board a little bit, but figured it out pretty easily due to the diagrams in the instruction book. My son loved the build, and is thrilled to have his own hand-crank flashlight. Not sure how sturdy it will be over time, but it seems pretty good now.

Perfect for our kids
Everything was labeled and packaged. Instructions were super clear, and it was fun and educations. We could do a quick easy assembly for 4 year old level and then a more detailed educational assumbly for a 13 year old. A single piece for the stickies on the flashlight window might have worked better.
