Description

Designed for all ages and abilities, the Arduino Starter Kit is the perfect introduction to the world of coding and electronics. Not only does the kit come with the Arduino Uno, an entry-level board for those who are new to developing on the Arduino platform, but a whole host of other goodies to help you on your way. There’s even a helpful book that includes a step-by-step guide to getting started, and 15 exciting projects to complete. If you’re an experienced designer, don’t despair: the Starter Kit is also a great way to explore the different functionalities of the Arduino Uno board.

Details

The Arduino Starter Kit is perfect for beginners, including the most common and useful electronic components. No prior experience is required, so it is ideal for students to get started with electronics and programming and provides a fun, hands-on learning experience through exciting projects available via a project book that guides students through wiring and coding with 15 fun projects.

There’s an introduction to sensors and actuators and how to understand both digital and analog signals. You’ll be teaching students how to think critically, learn collaboratively, and solve problems within all this.
