			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are looking for ways to inspire your budding scientist, take a good look.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1653" title="DSC_0001" src="http://www.thegoodstuffguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/DSC_0001.JPG" alt="DSC_0001" width="480" height="425" /></p>
<p>KitBook is a textbook combined with a built-in electric page and all the components for learning about electric circuits.  Here&#8217;s the thing: the adorables of all ages love it!</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1654" title="DSC_0002-1" src="http://www.thegoodstuffguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/DSC_0002-11.JPG" alt="DSC_0002-1" width="480" height="322" /></p>
<p>The Running Man was like a kid in a candy store when he saw this.  He grabbed our eldest adorable and they set to work.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1655" title="DSC_0004-1" src="http://www.thegoodstuffguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/DSC_0004-1.JPG" alt="DSC_0004-1" width="322" height="480" /></p>
<p>So they grabbed the components: 2 lightbulbs, a small motor, a buzzer, a switch, a lever (and other stuff) and they set to work making circuits.  The adorable was enthralled.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1656" title="DSC_0003-1" src="http://www.thegoodstuffguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/DSC_0003-1.JPG" alt="DSC_0003-1" width="322" height="480" /></p>
<p>This is the power page and everything just snaps into place.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1657" title="DSC_0005" src="http://www.thegoodstuffguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/DSC_0005.JPG" alt="DSC_0005" width="322" height="480" /></p>
<p>This is the on/off switch and the motor (with a top on it).</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1658" title="DSC_0004" src="http://www.thegoodstuffguide.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/DSC_0004.JPG" alt="DSC_0004" width="322" height="480" /></p>
<p>See the whirling top?  The circuit is complete.</p>
<p>KitBook is intended for the 7-12 year crowd, but is a hit with adorables of all ages. The younger set get a safe environment to play and see what works and what doesn&#8217;t, while the older crowd gets the opportunity to test what they are learning from the textbook in one spot.<br />
Created by two engineers who were eager to get adorables engaged in science, I think they&#8217;ve succeeded!</p>
