All the fun of coding & circuits. None of the headache. Let's Start Coding has combined easy-to-use electronics, online lessons & videos, & example code to bring your tween & teen 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 example code & 'tinker', experimenting with the code & trying out our challenges through our free online software. Let's Start Coding resources have been designed by educators & coders to teach the core concepts in a way that engages kids 8 & up, challenges their minds, & introduces them to core coding concepts while they have fun! Our team has spent hundreds of hours leading workshops, camps, & classes through the beginning of their coding journey, so the method is proven & based on feedback from real beginners. Our breadboard- & wire-free electronic construction makes it a snap to create circuits. 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 includes: Maker Board microcontroller (programmable computer chip similar to Arduino, Microbit, or Raspberry Pi), 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, Buttons, RGB (red-green-blue) LED lights, Red, Blue, & Green LED lights (single color), USB Cable, Component & code reference instructions, & a Carrying case.

By following over 100 step-by-step projects with over 2,000 lines of example code & over 8 hours of video content, teen girls will learn about Analog vs. digital logic, How fast computers can process logic & 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, & sound & they will learn how to modify their programs & write their own creative code with these skills!

Kids get immediate feedback when they build something with their kits. Our component guides & online resources help tweens build real electronic projects. At the same time, kids are introduced to real, typed coding concepts in the C++ coding language, used by major companies & government agencies like NASA. Ignite your kids' passion for STEM & set them up for a career in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Math! Even if your kids don't become full-time computer programmers, they can use their coding skills in video game development, website design, robotics, design, mechanical engineering, or any number of other fields. Computing jobs are expected to grow much faster than other occupations over the coming decade. Getting your child started exploring code now is an investment that can pay off with huge benefits.

Whether you're shopping for a birthday, Christmas, graduation, Hanukkah, or other gift, consider a coding kit as the smart option that will keep both kids & parents happy. Kids can express their creativity through coding & electronics, building household gadgets like an automatic night light, random dance party, DJ booth, light & sound show, "clapper" light, color-changing thermometer, digital name tag, miniature video game, or something as simple as a traffic light simulator. Though not a robotics kit, the engineering & electronics skills that tweens & teens build with a Let's Start Coding kit will cross over to those activities as they learn code logic, styling, syntax, loops, variables, functions, troubleshooting, & command sequencing. While options like Bitsbox offer a subscription for younger kids, the Ultimate Kit contains enough activities that you don't need a monthly box to stay busy! Our 100+ example projects are just the start - typed code enables unlimited experiments & variations that kids can explore at their own pace, making games & gadgets. Coding for kids 12 & up has never been easier - our projects are relevant to kids of that age, but still focused on beginners & on building skills up one at a time. As broad as computer coding is, it can be broken into its component parts & learned sequentially. That structure is crucial in coding for beginners - they need the focus that our coding toys provide. Designed & shipped from the USA, we're dedicated to your success & provide online support, email newsletters that keep kids going, & consistent improvement of our products & lessons online.

Parents & teachers praise our kits because their kids are able to get started on their own, without much adult knowledge or guidance. This is important because kids may lead the way as the first coders in their household. Our online resources including videos & challenges help guide kids in their coding journey. Start yours today!
