An UNO R3 microcontroller, which is like a pocket-sized computer (and is also Arduino compatible)
Various electronic components
Access to online courses
Do I need any prior experience?
No experience necessary! You can start as a complete beginner and have no problem finishing (and understanding) the first project.
What programming language will I learn?

What components will I learn about?
You'll gain hands-on learning experience with microcontrollers, breadboards, piezo buzzers, light emitting diodes (LED), ultrasonic sensors, accelerometers, 7-segment displays, LCD screens, microphone modules, temperature humidity sensors, LED matrices, photoresistors, buttons, and jumper wires.
What's inside the online classroom?
Inside the Online Classroom you'll find step-by-step instructions on how to assemble the hardware, video tutorials for components, and tutorials on how to program your project.
You'll also get an overview of common errors, exercises to test your new knowledge, and a messaging board to help troubleshoot and answer any questions you have.

I thought I had ordered one thing but I hit the wrong button. I contacted the company and they immediately got back to me and had given me a refund when it was totally my fault. I was so impressed by their service!

These guys have an awesome product
These guys have an awesome product and amazing customer service as I happened to auto fill an old address for my shipping and couldn't retrieve my package after finding this out the people at Creation Crate told me not to worry and resent my kit to me no problem. Now thats taking care of a customer for sure.
I excited for my next project and cant wait!

Instructions in writing and video.
The online courses were well done. In addition, there were written instructions. The two worked together and supplemented each other.
If I was confused by the video, I could clarify using the booklet.
We are glad to hear that our efforts to create an engaging multi-media experience that delivers for all learning types (auditory, visual, kinetic, etc.) is working for you.

Good but hard to hear at times
My son and I both learned something from it but the initial videos are very quiet for a phone or ipad. We had to connect an external speaker in order to be able to understand what he was saying for some of the videos.
Thank you for the feedback. We will have the team review the videos and see if we can increase the volume. Please email support@creationcrate.com and send us information about any specific videos that you are having trouble hearing.
