Crack the Code — kit, BoM & downloads

Everything you need to buy, quote and distribute this unit. The teaching content lives elsewhere — this page exists so that prices, cart actions and downloads stay out of the student and presentation flows.

LB-CTCSINGLE · 1 per student

One Crack the Code Arduino kit per student — a Little Bird Arduino R3 board, the Crack the Code (ThinkerShield) board, a storage case and a USB A-to-B cable. Everything needed for the four PRP activities and the design project; the shield's on-board LEDs, button, potentiometer, LDR and buzzer mean students can start coding without first wiring a circuit. Also the part to re-order for replacements.

About the kit

Every student needs a Crack the Code Arduino kit — an Arduino-compatible Uno board, the MAAS ThinkerShield (with on-board LEDs, a button, a potentiometer, an LDR and a piezo buzzer), a USB cable and a project case. The ThinkerShield means students can start coding inputs and outputs without first wiring a circuit; for the final builds we add LEDs, 220 Ω resistors, jumper leads, breadboards, push buttons, piezo buzzers, an LDR, copper tape and battery holders.
