All the fun of coding and circuits. None of the headache. Let's Start Coding has combined easy-to-use electronics, online lessons and videos, and example code to bring your kids the best way to start learning real code. Parents, you don't have to be an expert to get them started; kids start with our pre-written code and 'tinker', experimenting with the code and trying out our challenges.
The Let's Start Coding resources have been designed by educators and coders to teach the core concepts in a way that engages kids, challenges their minds, and introduces them to core coding concepts while they have fun! Our team has spent hundreds of hours leading workshops, camps, and classes through the beginning of their coding journey, so the method is proven and based on feedback from real beginners.
Finally, an introduction to real, typed coding that doesn't require textbooks, in-person tutors, or searching for high-quality information online. If you really want your kids to get ahead with your coding skills, the Let's Start Coding kits are the all-in-one product you're looking for.
The Ultimate Kit 2 includes:
- Maker Board 2.0 microcontroller (programmable computer chip)
- Maker Screen 3.0 LCD screen
- Flexible LED strip with 15 pixels that can be programmed to 300 colors
- Sound sensor
- Light sensor
- Temperature sensor
- Speaker
- 4 Buttons
- 2 RGB (red-green-blue) LED lights
- 1 Red, 1 Blue, and 1 Green LED light
- USB Cable
- Component and code reference cards
- USB cable
- Carrying case
By following over 100 step-by-step projects with over 2,000 lines of example code and over 8 hours of video content, kids will learn about:
- Analog vs. digital logic
- How fast computers can process logic and sensor readings
- How computers are programmed to "make decisions"
- Building basic electrical circuits (ground vs. power)
- How computers can interact with real-world sensors
- Displaying 'data' in creative ways using the screen, lights, and sounds
and they will learn how to modify their programs and write their own creative code with these skills!
