\"\"<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story<\/em><\/a> proves (as though we had any doubts) that the Galactic Empire had no use for pure science – only researchers willing to apply their knowledge for evil, freedom-crushing ends needed apply (as poor Galen Erso found out)!<\/p>\n

Fortunately, the Star Wars Death Star Electronics Lab<\/a> from the science enthusiasts at Uncle Milton is no technological terror, but a fun way for budding scientists to gain hands-on training in electronic circuitry.<\/p>\n

A 12-by-12 inch circuit board model of the Empire\u2019s first mobile battle station, this lab kit includes 20 experiments that will entertain, challenge, and educate Star Wars<\/em> fans age 8 and up in real-world STEM concepts. Following the step-by-step instruction guide, they can snap together the 75 capacitors, switches, transistors and more in various configurations to activate LEDs and trigger such authentic sound effects from the Star Wars<\/em> films as klaxon alarms, the blast of the station\u2019s planet-killing super laser, and even Darth Vader\u2019s breathing machine!<\/p>\n

Best of all, no kyber crystals were harmed in the construction of this <\/em>Death Star! It runs on 3 AAA batteries, not included. (Also not included: any secret design flaws rebels can exploit to blow the whole thing up.)<\/p>\n

You can\u2019t use the Death Star Electronics Lab<\/a> to blow up Alderaan or keep the local systems in line. On the plus side, you\u2019re guaranteed to learn a lot more useful lessons from your <\/em>Death Star than the Empire ever did from theirs<\/em>.<\/p>\n

We think it\u2019s fair to say this lab kit is now the supreme power in the electronics circuitry teaching universe – we suggest you use it. Order yours today!<\/p>\n
