The KEEP CD-ROM resource is designed for use in the classroom instruction and as a review of the circuit project steps for
teachers/volunteers who have previously attended KEEP professional development workshops. As an instructional tool, the
videos may be used to demonstrate the step-by-step techniques associated with the circuit projects, provide background
information on the steps, tools and circuit materials, and take students/youth on a virtual plant tour of an electronics contract
manufacturing company. The handouts can be printed and distributed as content material, instructions for each step, and
glossary terms to support lesson plans.
Learning Tool: Electronics Snap Kit, build 100 projects – instruction book included. You have to purchase the batteries for
each project (requires 2 AA for most of them). May also find them online at less expense.
