Build it step by step.
Bring your kit to life with 20 guided projects. Start with your first blinking LED, then explore sensors, sound and a working pedestrian crossing.
Explore the parts. Follow the steps. Make something happen.
Electronics you can explore
Rotate the models, reveal their insides and watch components respond. Follow current through a knob, press a button or shine light on a sensor.
A clear next step, every time
Work through wiring, explained code and checks in order. Start with a working example, change something, then test your idea on the real kit.
Code in English. Upload in Chrome.

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- microcontroller
- A microcontroller is a small computer on a single chip that runs a stored program and controls connected inputs and outputs such as buttons, sensors, displays and communication interfaces. In a device built around one, it is the part that executes the code and coordinates the device's behaviour.
- Shield
- An add-on board that plugs into a main controller board to give it extra features such as sensing, motor control or communication. Knowing a product supports shields helps you judge whether it can connect neatly into an existing maker-board setup.
- Terminal block
- A terminal block is a connector that joins wires together in a neat, removable, or serviceable way, usually clamping each wire under a screw or spring instead of soldering. It makes it easier to connect, change, or service wiring without permanent joints.
