Arlektra Mini™ teaches electronics and circuits hands-on, while using real-time Augmented Reality 3D instructions and animations through your phone or tablet. Now you easily learn, build and see the world of electronics and circuits like never before! When using the complete Arlektra Mini learning kit, or the demo Arlektra Mini image target, learners will:
SEE THEORY
Arlektra Mini will allow you to easily visualize and comprehend the most difficult electrical concepts and theories, as they come alive right before your very eyes. You'll finally understand the unseen complexities of electrical theory, with vision and insight beyond your imagination.
BUILD CIRCUITS
Using step-by-step Visual (3D), Audio and Text instructions, Arlektra Mini will teach you to build electrical circuits, with ease. You’ll learn to build various types of circuits, while using different electrical parts to do so - all without any assistance.
EXPLORE PARTS
Arlektra Mini will allow you to see real electrical parts in detailed 3D exploded and 360 views - while you look through your mobile device. You'll learn about their inner workings and operation, and how they connect and work together in electrical circuits.
LEARN TOOLS
Arlektra Mini will teach you the basics of a Digital Multimeter. You'll learn a multimeters functions, and how tests and basic electrical troubleshooting procedures are performed.
Arlektra Mini comes with everything you want and need. No other app in the universe can teach you electronics and circuits like Arlektra Mini. It will inspire and prepare you for the future, beyond your imagination!

*Guest Menu Lessons: To use these lessons, you must first download and print the required Arlektra Mini Image Target from: arstemlabs.com/arlektra-mini-demo
When I first got this, I had a problem with the power supply, but I was really surprised and happy when a replacement power supply was overnighted by the company. Customer service was excellent.
I still think there are some improvements to be made with logging in and setting up the account, for example, it requires you to login each time you launch the app. That is a little bit of a hassle.
There was another review that talked about having a problem with the augmented reality, but the trick is you need to have it with some contrast between the table and the board. I had mine on a black placemat, thinking that that would help it recognize the board, more easily, but as soon as I moved away onto a wood table, the augmented reality worked perfectly.
I’m really enjoying the exercises and I’m thinking of even writing some more. I’m hoping to use this for an advanced stem class that we have created to teach kids how to build and fly drones. part of the curriculum is learning about circuits.
