The Circuitmess Ringo is a Smartphone You Build Yourself

Building a smartphone doesn't sound like assembling Swedish furniture from a box, but the Circuitmess Ringo is precisely that. It's a do-it-yourself (DIY) kit that lets you build a fully functional smartphone from scratch. No, it isn't a fancy as something from Apple or Samsung. But it gives you an education on soldering, problem-solving, and appreciation for how it all works together.
At $219 CAD plus shipping, the kit is geared towards makers and creators ages 11 and up. The box is well laid out, offering complete guidance and instruction every step of the way. You will need some essential soldering tools and tidy space to work as there are some smaller components.
Once you're done with the soldering and assembly fun, you are left with a sense of pride and hopefully a working smartphone that you made yourself. A battery is included, as is the correct cellular module for the country you are in. One small caveat is that you will need to adapt your SIM from the nano-SIM in most smartphones these days.
The Circuitmess Ringo represents a fun and rewarding experience that can be shared with the older kids in the house. Or taken on by older adults looking to learn something new.
