The Pi Zero W Starter Kit bundles the Raspberry Pi Zero W with a protective Pibow case, a 16 GB micro-SD card with Raspbian pre-loaded, a Blinkt! LED strip, adaptors, and cables — everything you need to get started with the Pi Zero W.
The Pi Zero W features built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, freeing up the micro-USB port for peripherals. The included Blinkt! strip with eight APA102 RGB LEDs is a great introduction to coding in Python, with a comprehensive tutorial and example library available.

Resources
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- GPIO
- General-purpose input/output pins are microcontroller pins you can set in software to read signals, switch devices on and off, or connect to peripherals. The number of GPIO pins matters because it limits how many buttons, LEDs, sensors, and other parts you can wire directly to the board.
- HDMI
- HDMI is a common digital video and audio connection used by computers, media players, and many displays. If a display kit has HDMI input, it is usually much easier to test with a single-board computer because it can act like a normal monitor.
- IoT
- Short for Internet of Things, meaning physical devices that connect to networks or the internet to send data or be controlled remotely. It matters if you want projects such as connected sensors, remote controls or classroom data-logging activities.
- LED
- A light-emitting diode is a small electronic component that lights up when current flows through it in the correct direction. In this kit, LEDs create the flashing effect, so polarity and correct soldering matter for the project to work.
- RGB
- Short for red, green and blue, usually referring to an LED that can mix those three colours. It matters because controlling an RGB LED teaches how separate outputs combine to create different colours.
