Adventure Kit: 30 Days Lost in Space | Premium STEM Coding Course for Adults & Teens | Robotics & Engineering Projects with Expert Teachers | Arduino IDE Compatible Kit

This is a fun little project kit that teaches you basic programming on the Arduino as well as basic electronics and interfacing to a small computer.It has a fun little storyline of you starting out in a space ship that has crashed, and through the lessons you are "repairing" your ship to get off the planet. You start off learning how to wire up simple switches and lights and writing programming to control things. Each lesson gets progressively more advanced, but at a pace that is easy to keep up with.No knowledge of electronics is necessary as the course teaches you everything you will need to know. Some basic programming knowledge is helpful, but again not required as the course eases you in so that even if you have no prior programming experience, you will not have difficulty following along.I have been doing programming and electronics for over 40 years and can absolutely say that if you are interested in learning some basic programming and electronics, and how you can use microcontrollers to interface to real world hardware, this is the kit for you. It gives you great fundamentals in easy byte sized chunks and has a fun little storyline that keeps you engaged.

This was another accidental find which wound up being a real treasure. The course has a theme where you, a Space Cadet, have crash-landed on an alien planet and your ship rests at the bottom of the ocean. The ship has suffered some damage and if you ever expect to get back home, a series of repairs are in order.Starting with simple basics, you learn to light an LED, then move on to setting up different types of sensors and writing code which makes them work. The course is free, and there's a Facebook group full of support where you can go if you need the assist.30 Days has been imitated but not duplicated. Consider giving it a try.

Absolutely Amazing. This is the best microcontroller learning kit I've ever found. It is FUN, teaches hardware (Arduino), and software (C++), and has great support.Each lesson video has three parts: a motivational story line in which actress Britt Genelin plays Astrid, the delightfully snarky onboard AI. Her performance really makes this kit a blast. Second, there is a walk through the coding for each project, and third, there is a walk through of the hardware assembly and operation.The Arduino is programmed from your computer using the standard Arduino development environment. The first lesson shows how to install this for Windows, MAC, and Chromebook devices. I ran it from my Linux desktop - while they don't include the instructions for installing on Linux, it is a very easy install. (I just googled for "arduino ide flatpak for fedora" to find the instructions).Support is outstanding. My kit arrived Friday, and I noticed it was missing the OLED display module. I emailed support that day, and the replacement arrived that Monday!The lessons are wonderfully designed, progressing from simple components, to a final complex combination that represents a flight controller that you have to fly to a successful rendezvous with the mother ship. Yes, you end up making a simple retro video game, and get to play it.I had a blast with this kit.Highly recommended for any age.

Lost In Space was so much smaller than expected. Hopefully our grandson will enjoy it.

I didn't expect it to be so cool, it exceeded my expectation, I really had fun, 5 start and best recomendations.

Been working in development for 7+ years but wish a kit like this was available in school. Been able to learn a ton while also being familiar with coding concepts. The actual meat of the code can get pretty complex because we use external libraries to interact with oled, or rotary, but the general electrical concepts of how to power these items and write code for it is amazing.100% recommend to anybody, you’ll learn a thing or two.

The course is designed in a fun way because there is a space story to make the activities feel more immersive. The person explaining the circuit side of things explains things well and is easy to listen to. However, the person who explains the programming side of things--who also happens to be the founder of the Inventr.io company, is not very good at explaining the in's and out's of the code and his voice is kind of annoying. He sounds like he's bored with the task of having to explain things.Overall, a good intro kit that is making me want to continue my exploration of electronics, programming, and the like.

My kids LOVE this!
