The SparkFun Inventor’s Kit v4.0 is the latest version of the electronic kit for beginners designed by SparkFun around the RedBoard and Arduino boards. With new parts and a completely new strategy, it will help new amateurs get started with learning embedded electronics!
SparkFun Inventor’s Kit: for inventors ages 10 and up
This famous Arduino kit by SparkFun does not require any soldering, as the easy-to-use electronics components just clip together. The guidebook contains step-by-step instructions to help students and electronics enthusiasts understand the basics of circuit building. Each project will show them how to connect and use a sensor, light up a LED, or program a module’s behaviour, and so on.
An entirely different approach to teaching
For version 4.0 of the Arduino kit, SparkFun has adopted a new educational stance: now the various circuits described (16 in total) are introduced in the context of a global project. Each circuit builds upon the last, leading up to a project that incorporates all the circuits, components and concepts introduced throughout the guide included in the kit. There are also new parts to discover, such as an ultrasonic sensor.
