Snap Circuits® BRIC: Structures Access Kit

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · May 23, 2026

This is an accessibility adaptation kit that makes the Snap Circuits BRIC: Structures electronics and construction set usable by students who are blind or have low vision. APH typically develops these access kits with tactile labels, braille guides, and/or large-print materials so that a sighted student's STEM activity can be meaningfully shared with a visually impaired peer. The base Snap Circuits BRIC set is sold separately — this kit provides the accessible overlays and documentation to go with it, not a standalone product. Teachers of the Visually Impaired (TVIs) will find this easiest to implement, since knowing which tactile adaptations map to which circuit components takes some orientation time.

What Setup Looks Like

• Out of the box
  Pair with the base Snap Circuits BRIC: Structures kit (sold separately) to begin use.
• With a guide
  
  1. Review the included accessible guides or braille/large-print materials to understand how labels correspond to circuit components.
  2. Apply any tactile or braille labels to the physical components as directed.
  3. Allow 20–30 minutes for initial familiarization before the first structured activity. See manufacturer support resources for detailed instructions.
• With professional help
  
  1. A Teacher of the Visually Impaired (TVI) can orient the student to the tactile adaptations and integrate the kit into science or STEM IEP goals.
  2. One orientation session of 30–60 minutes is typically sufficient for a student with prior tactile learning experience.
