EEME stands for Electrical Engineering Mechanical Engineering. This educational company produces online lessons for young students (ages 7-12). EEME offers a monthly subscription service for $18.95/month. Each month you receive a small box of components. Your son or daughter follow the online lessons for that project to build a fun electronic device.
The lessons are designed by a Dad engineer and they are wonderfully simple and instructive. The components are simple and easy to work with. If you have a “hands-on” learner that is intrigued by electronics you will find this a satisfying and fun resource.
My ten year old son, Owen, and I are conducting a series of reviews of EEME Projects. I observe while Owen logs in and performs each step of the online lessons which include final assembly of the monthly project.
Our first lesson: PROJECT GENIUS LIGHT!
February 2016
Project Genius light included the battery pack and batteries, breadboard, 2 long wires, 2 short wires, 2 resistors, 1 photoresistor and an LED. The breadboard and battery pack are used every month. Since this was our first project Owen needed to take several introductory lessons for a total of 30 steps. The steps include short video demonstrations, multiple choice and short answer questions, and building activities. This project took Owen about 4 hours to complete.
Owen

What was your favorite thing about Project Genius Light? THE PHOTORESISTOR IS COOL!
Dad
Did the online lessons and project work well together? MOST DEFINITELY
Did I have to help Owen understand the lessons or assembly? NOT ONCE
