Hi. My name is Osiel. (People also call me Ozzie.)

During my time in architecture school I began to make toys with salvaged materials like motors, switches, and lights from old appliances I was taking apart. Through this tinkering I became increasingly interested in how electronic circuits work. I wanted to understand circuits in a fundamental way. 

What I soon realized was that there was no tool that showed you how to physically build circuits with your own hands. There’s a breadboard (a useful tool for making circuits). But with all of its holes, rows, and columns with multiple positive and negative signs, it can be confusing and daunting for beginners and even seasoned engineers.

Each Ozitoy is essentially a breadboard with only the holes you need to make and understand the specific circuit the toy teaches you about. Accompanying the holes are labels that tell you exactly where each component goes, aided by a simple assembly manual that comes with each toy.
