★★★★★Real parts, not a toy
I wouldn't call this a toy. Real Arduino, real code — my son is actually learning how the circuits work instead of just snapping plastic pieces together. Alot of value for what you pay.

My son opened it after dinner and stayed at the table for over an hour. He was so proud when the lights finally turned on.

★★★★★the only one he didn't abandon
we've tried like 3 other kits and they all ended up in a drawer. this is the only one that didn't. he's on week 12 and still asks to do the next one. the weekly lessons are what did it i think

My granddaughter loves anything involving science, so this was a big hit. I helped her with the wiring, but she figured out most of it herself.

★★★★☆Was nervous, didn't need to be
I know NOTHING about electronics so I figured I'd have to be the teacher. I don't — it teaches him. Only reason it's 4 stars is a part was missing from our box, but they shipped a replacement fast.

Sorry about the missing sensor, Sarah — glad the replacement reached you fast. Every box is hand-checked now, and you can always reach a real engineer at support@techbotics.academy.

The box has a lot more components than I expected. My son has already completed several projects and now wants to create his own.

My daughter asked to bring it to the kitchen table every night this week. That says everything.

★★★★★He explains it to ME now
what got me is he comes and explains how the thing he built works, and he actually understands it. he used to just watch other kids build stuff on youtube. big difference

Perfect rainy-day activity. It kept both of my kids busy and away from their screens for most of the afternoon.

I was worried it might be too advanced, but the projects build up gradually. My 9-year-old started with the LED and is now working on the LCD display. He has learned a lot about circuits, patience, and problem-solving. Fixing the wiring mistakes became part of the fun.

Great hands-on kit for my 10-year-old. The projects feel challenging without being overwhelming.

★★★★★No sneaky subscription
Got burned by one of those monthly STEM boxes that quietly kept charging my card. This is one payment and done. The projects just sit in his account, no deadline, no renewals. Thank you.

Bought this for my grandson's birthday. He immediately started sorting all the parts and building the first project.

★★★★★cheaper than the camp lol
we paid like $400 for a one week coding camp last summer that he forgot by september. this has kept my 12 yo going for months and he actually keeps what he builds. way better value imo

We built the distance sensor together over the weekend. A few mistakes along the way, but that made it even more rewarding when it worked.

★★★★☆wish it shipped faster, but great
took about 10 days to arrive which felt long since he was so excited. once it came though he's been obsessed. we did kiwico before and it didnt stick — this one did. the door lock project was a big moment for him

Thanks Rachel — we hear you on the wait. We've since moved to next-business-day dispatch to cut that down. So glad the door lock was a big moment for him!
The questions parents actually ask.
How does the program actually work?
Your kit ships the next business day — free worldwide — with 38 components (Arduino Uno R3, breadboard, sensors, motors, displays, jumper wires) for all 25 weeks. Everything else runs from a web-based learning portal: two video walkthroughs to start, then 25 weekly projects with wiring diagrams, full code, and line-by-line explanations. Stuck on a circuit? They send a photo and a real electronics engineer replies within one business day — forever.
What exactly is in the kit?
A complete Arduino electronics lab — 38 components, every one mapped to a project, no filler:
- Brain & power — a genuine Arduino Uno R3, USB cable, and a 9V battery connector
- Breadboard & wiring — a full-size breadboard, 40 jumper wires, header pins, and a resistor pack (220Ω / 1kΩ / 10kΩ)
- Lights & displays — 15 LEDs (red / green / yellow), an RGB LED, a 1602 LCD, 4-digit and 1-digit 7-segment displays, and an 8×8 LED matrix
- Controls & input — 4 push buttons, a 4×4 keypad, a joystick, a potentiometer, tilt switches, and an IR remote + receiver
- Sensors — DHT11 temperature & humidity, an LM35 temp sensor, plus water-level, sound, and light sensors
- Motors & sound — a 9g servo, a stepper motor with driver board, and active + passive buzzers
- Advanced modules — an RC522 RFID reader (your Week 25 door lock), a 5V relay, a real-time clock, and a 74HC595 shift register
What age is this for?
Same answer as woodworking or learning guitar — there isn't really one. It's built for complete beginners from around age 6 up to adults; plenty of parents and grandparents build alongside their kid. If your kid can read and follow steps, they can do this.
Do I need to know anything about electronics or coding?
No. The curriculum teaches everything from "what is an LED" to "here's the C++ code that controls it." Zero experience assumed.
What computer do they need?
Lessons load on any phone, tablet, or computer. Programming has to be done from a Windows or Mac computer (or Linux) — the Arduino IDE is free. iPhones and iPads can't be used for programming — that's an Arduino limitation, not ours.
Is this a subscription? Do I need to finish in 25 weeks?
No to both. $129 one-time. No monthly billing, no auto-renewal, no expiry on access. You can take longer or go faster — the pace is yours.
How is this different from a $40 Arduino kit on Amazon?
You're not buying a guitar. You're buying guitar lessons that come with a guitar. A structured 25-week curriculum, line-by-line code explanations, troubleshooting walkthroughs, and a real engineer to ask when you're stuck.
How much time does it take each week?
There's no set schedule. Some kids do four projects in a weekend; others do one every couple of weeks. A session is usually 20–40 minutes — it fits around school, not on top of it. Nothing expires, so they go at their own pace.
Is it safe? Does your child need to solder?
No soldering. Every part plugs into a solderless breadboard by hand. It runs on low-voltage USB power — the same as a phone charger — nothing plugs into a wall socket and there's nothing hot. Safe for ages 6 and up.
Open it. Use it. If it's not the real deal, send it back.
Open the box. Let your kid try the first three projects. If it doesn't click — for them, for you, for any reason at all — send it back within 30 days for a full refund.
Used. Opened. Missing pieces. Doesn't matter.
25 weeks from now, your kid will have built something real.
An Arduino-powered RFID door lock. From raw components. Wired and coded by them. Plus 24 builds of skill they collected on the way there.
