Easy to use. All you can ever need in a kit. Got it delivered the next day.

Great "sampler" of so many types of sensors and controls. Instructions are clear and repeatable. I have some background skills in electronics, radios, computers and programming, but this kit assumes nothing. I am learning a lot, even though some of it may be familiar. This is my platform for launching many future projects with my kids as their interest grows. Thank you!

The LED projects are cool. Ready to start project 2. It can be very confusing dealing with the wires, but it's fun to see what comes out in the end. Tryg. 9 yrs old

Great beginner kit. Easy to follow online guide as well as a book included in the box yet still challenging enough to entertain my 11 year old for several hours. The kit is well packaged though it would be great to have dividers/compartments in the box for storing the parts after removing the packaging.

I'm a bit ambitious and have been working through projects with my 8 year old. Some of the concepts are a bit advanced for that age, but I love having the detailed "teachers" manual and all of the code samples available right in the Arduino IDE. I think this has been a great introduction on how to interact with the "real" world using code.

The Inventor's Kit is a great beginner's kit to learn the basics of electronics and Arduino coding.

This is a top quality kit with excellent components and a well written and illustrated guide. Each project builds on lessons learned in previous ones. No soldering required. The programming is all provided, but the guide encourages modifications to the programs for fuller understanding. All in all an impressive kit!

A great kit to introduce many concepts and functions. Loved every project. Now I’m using the parts to make bigger and better projects!

I'm brand new to arduino and this kit is making the entry very easy to digest and friendly. Some of the components are pretty low quality and the setup needs to be occasionally adjusted, but if you have some patience and common sense, it won't be an issue. Strongly recommend.

So, here's what I have to compare this kit to: The Make: Electronics kit, which unfortunately took a very long time to get to me, coloring my perception of their kit, plus? They didn't manage to get the book I'm SURE I ordered with the kit, to me, in addition to the shipping delay. Now, the delay wasn't their fault, they say Covid-19 shut down their warehouse. Why am I mentioning all of this? Because I'm brand new to electronics, and kits like this, except for some Radio Shack boxed kits using springs to connect circuits, and so having the BOOK is a big deal for me, because I like having the book, and yeah, yeah, I can and do go online, but this kit from Spark Fun? GREAT BOOK! And it's spiral bound, so it lays flat while I try to follow along. I like the code, and the whole thing has been working flawlessly so far: I'm halfway through the book. :) Any problems I've had have been user error, and I'm really enjoying the projects and the quality of the included components.

I loved this kit. I had some time during Christmas vacation and ran through everything. Excellent manual with great illustrations. It was a good selection of circuits. The comments in the code complimented what was in the manual. Neat stuff!!!

Pros: Activities are well planned, simple enough for a younger child to use with the help from an adult (my son is 10) but with the versatility to engage older ones as well. Website has a lot of additional resources which really helps. Overall would definitely recommend.

Cons: Our inventor's kit had a lot of plastic shavings inside that made quite a mess when unpacking. Some of the things in the manual are outdated which was a little annoying but luckily plenty of support online.
