This was a late Christmas present for my ten year old niece, and she loves it. She's already using Scratch, so this is the next level. Instructions are clear and the projects fun - I might get myself one!

I bought this as a project for myself and my son to work on together. My son is not particularly interested in electronics, but we had fun working on this. The big hit was the "beam breaking" game. The whole family joined in trying to beat the high score. The instructions and explanations were very good. It was a bit difficult to find them on the website, but once we found them, they were great. There are clear, detailed images of each project and they step you through setting them up. The code examples were explained well and easy to follow/understand.

Excellent introduction to tinkering around with microcontroller boards. Lots of fun to go through the exercises daily and learn about possible sensors and inputs that can be used.

I’m not the best coder out there but I do enjoy a good project. It’s a fun little thing to get for yourself or a loved one who wants in on the coding adventure. I’d say it’s good for any age group (beware of small parts).

Nice set to build with kids. Introduces nicely different programming concepts and we especially liked the examples where such components are used in real life.

Bought as a treat for me to do with my eldest, but youngest has insisted on joining in too! It's a great starter collection of components, as well as the Raspberry Pi Pico microcontroller, and having the structured tuition for the twelve days has been excellent. We're only up to Day 4, but really enjoying it and learning plenty. I have considerable programming experience in C, my eldest has done some Python, and my youngest Scratch - however you would be fine if you had done nothing at all previously. All in all, great value, great fun, and educational!
