IF YOU MISSED OUT ON THIS KIT - we have the alternative *without* daily stickers on the components

Tired of chocolate and your kids bouncing off the walls?

Why not learn Arduino in bite sized chunks this year using the all new 2018 Little Bird Arduino Advent Kit.

The Little Bird Arduino Advent Kit includes 24 tutorials that teach you both Arduino and Electronics every day leading up to the big day. Access to the tutorials will be provided daily starting December 1st 2018.

Each kit and tutorial has been handcrafted by Maddy herself.

Kit includes:

  • Little Bird Uno R3 + USB Cable
  • Breadboard
  • Jumper Wires
  • LEDs (Multicolour RGB and single colours)
  • Temperature Sensor
  • Push Buttons
  • Potentiometer
  • Buzzer
  • Servo
  • Sound Sensor
  • IR Sensor
  • IR Transmittor
  • IR Remote
  • Tilt Sensor
  • Temperature and Humidity Sensor
  • Relay Actuator
  • Moisture Sensor
  • Hall Effect Sensor (for detecting magnetic fields)
  • Alcohol Sensor (mild inebriated adult supervision may be required)
  • Touch Sensor
  • Laser Module
  • Light Sensor
  • Reed Switch
  • Flame Sensor
  • Plastic Case

... and more!

NOTE:  This is the same Advent Calendar for Arduino as 2017 - If you enjoyed that, why not try the Advent Calendar for Micro:Bit

Jargon buster

Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.

potentiometer
A variable resistor usually turned with a knob or shaft to create an adjustable electrical signal. It is often used for inputs such as volume, brightness or position, so it helps beginners learn how a microcontroller reads changing values.
Reed switch
A small switch sealed in glass that opens or closes when a magnet is nearby. It is useful for simple door, lid, wheel, or position sensing because it can detect motion without needing to be pressed directly.
RGB
Short for red, green and blue, the three primary colours of light that are mixed in varying amounts to make a wide range of colours. In electronics RGB can refer to an LED or pixel that blends these three colours, or to a colour signal or interface that carries separate red, green and blue channels.
servo
A servo is a motor with built-in position control, usually told to move to a specific angle by a control signal. It matters when you need repeatable movement, such as steering, arms, flaps, or linkages, rather than continuous spinning.
