What is Electrical Kids?

Electrical Kids is a free, ad-free site that introduces kids to electricity and electronics through safe, hands-on projects, interactive tools and plain-language mini-lessons from Luke Robbins, an electrical engineering student at Western University in Ontario.

Ages: about 8–14. Beginner projects suit younger kids with help; Inventor projects suit older kids.
Power: every project uses batteries or USB only. Never wall power.
Privacy: no accounts, ads, trackers or third-party scripts. The badges checklist is stored only in the browser on your device.
Curriculum fit: projects connect naturally to classroom science topics like electricity, energy, magnetism, circuits and coding.
