Caught in the postal strike so didn't receive until the 5th but not your fault! Calendar is awesome, a mini project each day so my nipper doesn't get overwhelmed and great instructions for all ages. He's enjoying experimenting with the code and looks forward to each new box. I'm hoping this is the hook he needed to get into this kind of stuff. He wants to build an anti-drone weapon guidance system so I'm hoping that's next years calendar. Would definitely buy again, much better than chocolate!

I though it was a really great idea, I like that each activity isn’t too long, and its broken down into manageable chunks of learning. I have a good understanding of coding, having worked in tech education for a number of years, but there was still new things for me here. Much better than chocolate!

My husband has opened drawer 1 today and now looking forward to seeing what's in the others!

This is an excellent starter kit of stuff for introducing yourself or your kids / friends / whoever to the world of microcontrollers. When I found out what was in it I was honestly amazed it was only £40. I will say though, when I got it it was smaller than I thought it was from the product shots, maybe include some Christmas tree ornaments for scale?

Great quality, well thought out, and well put together. Really great introduction to the world of the PICO controller. Excellent.

Still in the early days of the Calendar, but thoroughly enjoyed it so far. The guides have been a nice balance of being informative yet causal, allowing users with any technical ability to easily get stuck in. Although the season hasn't finished, I know I'll purchase another calendar if they do one next year!

Nice set of projects and instructions on the website. But needs a printout for parents explaining where to go to get the details. And some descriptions in each box detailing the expected contents and what todays activity is. And having a 24 day calendar would be better as this fits with what the kids are expecting normally. Apart from these im pressed and my nephew is really excoted with this so far.
