If you use the SparkFun Inventor's Kit in a classroom or workshop setting, you know that when a bunch of people get their hands on the same kit, things get lost/broken. That's why we offer the SparkFun Inventor's Kit Refill Pack. This way, you don't need to buy a whole new kit if you lose a few of the smaller or more wear-prone bits.
This refill pack includes items such as servos, a photocell, multicolored buttons and LEDs --- all in a handy, protective carrying case. We understand that sometimes you need to replace some more pricey parts, so we hope this helps!
If a board needs code or communicates somehow, you're going to need to know how to program or interface with it. The programming skill is all about communication and code.
Skill Level: Rookie - You will need a better fundamental understand of what code is, and how it works. You will be using beginner-level software and development tools like Arduino. You will be dealing directly with code, but numerous examples and libraries are available. Sensors or shields will communicate with serial or TTL.

If it requires power, you need to know how much, what all the pins do, and how to hook it up. You may need to reference datasheets, schematics, and know the ins and outs of electronics.
Skill Level: Rookie - You may be required to know a bit more about the component, such as orientation, or how to hook it up, in addition to power requirements. You will need to understand polarized components.

This is a handy pack of hi-usage parts that I go through fairly quickly. There is nothing too specialized in the pack, but it is a nice set of basic fundamental parts.
