My kids were playing with a Cambridge Brain Box snap together electronics kit this morning. They also have a Logiblocs Super Inventors Kit. Here is another modular electronics system for learning.

Learning from MacGyver

Students at Freyberg High School in Palmerston North, New Zealand are learning what to do in life-threatening situations from MacGyver reruns.

During screening of the MacGyver epsiodes, computing teacher Gareth Bell pauses the video to ask if the science behind what MacGyver is doing will work in real life. Afterwards, the students try to repeat some of the experiments with varied results.

As previously posted on MuzGadgets, MacGyver episodes are available on YouTube (but not in all countries).
