Total Meltdown Electronic Game Total Meltdown Electronic Game
Can you handle the pressure? It's an intense electronic code-cracking game where the pressure's on to complete 4 intense challenges before the computer suffers a Total Meltdown! First up is Live Wire, where you must un-plug and re-plug 5 different live wires into the correct ports. Each time you insert all the wires, press the enter button to see which wires light up to tell you if they're in the correct port or not. Keep switching out all the wires until you have all 5 in their correct ports! Whew. But wait, that was only the beginning! The second challenge is Circuit Breaker where you must insert 12 shaped computer chips into their correct slots as quickly as possible. A bit like Perfection, this task requires a keen eye and a steady hand as you insert the pieces in a pressure packed situation. Sweating yet? Third up is Access Code, where you must successfully decipher and enter the code to access the computer's core. The keypad buttons will light up in a certain sequence, and you must correctly repeat the pattern to crack the code. You're almost there! The final challenge, The Core, is the trickiest yet. You must carefully remove the computer core without letting any part of it touch the sides. If it does, it will be damaged and you must return the core to the bottom and start over. With the clock ticking and time running out, the instinct will be to rush this as quickly as possible. But it takes a very delicate touch to remove the core without causing a Total Meltdown! Requires 3 AA batteries (not included). For 1 - 4 Players, Ages 8 and Up.

Parenting Tip: Many gifted children are incredibly disorganized.  This disorganization can interfere with their ability to do well in school.  Many schools provide notebook organizers or try to teach children to keep a homework notebook.  However, some of our gifted kids just can't manage all those paper notes.  The paper, even inside notebooks, get ripped, wrinkled and lost. 
    Help your child get organized by getting him or her an electronic data organizer.  There's no paper to get messed up or lost.  And kids' love of electronics makes getting organized fun.  Older kids -- those in high school -- will probably be ready for a PDA.  But the younger ones can make use of a kid's version, like this one available at Amazon.com
