A 5V battery powering red, green and yellow LED modules connected in a parallel circuit

Why Parents Love It

Genuine components, made approachable

Real LEDs, switches, sensors and buzzers are housed in sturdy, reusable modules. Clear labels and circuit symbols help children connect what they are building with how electronic circuits are represented.

Real Components

Genuine LEDs, switches, sensors and buzzers — the same kinds of parts used in real products.

Low-voltage design

Operates at 5 volts, with protection designed to reduce damage from common wiring mistakes.

Reusable

Build it, pull it apart, build something else — the modules can be rearranged and combined again and again.

Screen Free

No apps, no accounts, no screens. Just hands and parts.

How It Works

From box to blinking in minutes

There’s nothing to set up and nothing to download. Open the box and get building.

  1. A BushieBoy activity card next to the modules used in the project

    Choose a project

    Pick a guided activity card or create your own idea. Start with a simple LED circuit, then explore switches, buzzers, sensors and more.

  2. A child connecting modular electronic components to build a working LED circuit

    Connect the circuit

    Find the modules shown in the diagram and connect them with the supplied leads. The printed circuit paths help children see how each component fits into the circuit.

  3. A completed BushieBoy circuit with the LEDs lit up

    Test and experiment

    Power up the circuit and see what happens. Swap a component, add a switch or change the wiring to explore cause and effect through hands-on experimentation.

Our Modules

The building blocks

Each module is a real component in a tough, labelled case, and they all connect the same way. The kit comes with the lot — and down the track you’ll be able to buy modules on their own too.

  • BushieBoy 5V battery module with circuit symbol label

    Battery

    Every circuit starts here — a safe 5V supply in a tough case.

  • BushieBoy yellow LED module, lit up

    LEDs

    Red, green, yellow and blue. When an LED lights up, you know the circuit works.

  • BushieBoy push button module with red button

    Buttons

    Illuminated red and green push buttons — press to close the circuit.

  • BushieBoy SPDT toggle switch module

    Toggle Switch

    A proper flick switch for turning circuits on and off.

  • BushieBoy dial module with rotary knob

    Dial

    Turn it up, turn it down — the easiest way to get a feel for resistance.

  • BushieBoy PIR motion sensor module

    PIR Sensor

    Detects movement — use it in motion-triggered alarm projects.

  • BushieBoy piezoelectric buzzer module

    Buzzers

    Two kinds of buzzer, because circuits are better when they’re noisy.

  • BushieBoy red and black connection leads with gold connectors

    Leads

    Banana-lead patch cables that plug in easily and pull apart just as easily.

  • …and more to come

    There’s always something new on the workbench. See what’s available on the products page.

Built for Learning

What kids actually get out of it

Hands-on building helps turn circuit diagrams into something children can see, test and change.

Electrical concepts

Voltage, current and resistance stop being textbook words once you’ve watched a dial dim a light.

Circuit diagrams

Every module displays its corresponding circuit symbol, helping children begin relating physical components to schematic diagrams.

Problem solving

When a circuit doesn’t work, there’s a reason. Finding it is half the fun.

Cause and effect

Press the button, hear the buzzer. Nothing teaches faster than instant results.

Experimentation

What happens if I swap this for that? Good question — try it.

STEM confidence

Once a kid has built a working alarm, technology stops being magic and starts being theirs.

Learning electronics should feel like building, not memorising.

The idea behind every BushieBoy kit

FAQ

Questions parents ask

What age is BushieBoy suitable for?

We recommend ages 6 and up. Younger kids get a lot out of it with a parent at the table, and older kids grow more independent with it over time.

Is soldering required?

No. Everything connects with the supplied plug-in leads — no soldering and no tools required.

Is it safe for children?

The system operates at 5 volts and includes protection designed to reduce damage from common wiring mistakes. Adult supervision is recommended, particularly for younger children.

Can more kits or modules be added later?

Yes. Every module uses the same connectors, so anything we release later plugs straight into what you already have.

How many circuits can be built?

The included activity cards guide children through a range of projects. The reusable modules can then be rearranged, extended and combined to explore additional circuits and ideas.

Where can I buy the kit?

Right here on this site — card payments are handled securely by Stripe, with free shipping Australia-wide. The kit is also on our Etsy store if you’d rather buy through the Etsy marketplace. Either way it’s the same kit, made and posted by us in Brisbane.

Ready to build your first circuit?
