Morse Electric
The Morse-Electric is an educational game from the GDR, which should offer young people educational opportunities in a playful way. It was manufactured by the Gordon company in 1966.
Manufacturing
In the GDR, the learning kits were developed in conjunction with the school curricula . At the end of the manufacturing phase, the kits are tested on children and young people. The instructions are also checked for functionality. The young people are asked whether they liked the construction kit, how precise they found the assembly instructions and whether they can implement the construction without outside help.

Circuits can be built with the electrical kit . They can pass on the Morse code so that young people can learn the Morse alphabet in a playful way. The game is used for professional orientation on the one hand and learning electrical circuits and codes on the other. Primarily, boys are targeted with the technical kits. Should a box appear among girls, they are more likely to be addressed as admirers of the male cult of genius. The building toys were used in the GDR with a view to mass and inexpensive machine production.
