SparkFun Inventor's Kit Lab Pack - v4.1.2

The SparkFun Inventor's Kit Lab Pack v4.1.2 is a comprehensive kit that includes 10 complete Inventor's Kits, an SIK Refill Pack and 50 AA-sized batteries. This pack is designed to introduce students to the exciting world of electronics. Each Inventor's Kit is equipped with RedBoards, baseplates, breadboards and a full-color, spiral-bound guidebook. The guidebook provides step-by-step instructions, circuit diagrams and hookup tables to facilitate learning. The kit comes in a practical carrying case, and includes all the necessary electronics components to complete five comprehensive projects. These projects consist of 16 interconnected circuits that teach everything from LED blinking to sensor reading. The final project allows students to build their very own autonomous robot!

The SparkFun Inventor's Kit Lab Pack v4.1.2 is an ideal resource for educators in a variety of classroom and makerspace settings. The hardware boards, cables and extra parts are pre-packaged to ensure ease of use. Online support materials, including an online experiment guide, are available to help educators bring the power of the open-source community to the classroom. Curriculum materials and examples can be sourced from SparkFun, Arduino and other educators involved in the maker movement.

The Arduino programming environment, which is a free download, simplifies the process of getting started. All it takes is opening your kits, opening a programming window on your computer and loading example code to the microcontroller. The Arduino environment is a model for the open-source movement. It provides simple examples in the C-based language that students, teachers and parents can understand and work with from the start. The community support offered by Arduino is exceptional, with hundreds of code examples available for free online. The Arduino hardware and software are C-based, making it easy to link to internet-based applications and common programs. Arduino also has a free companion language, Processing, which allows users to create friendly interfaces that can graph, create gaming options and perform extensive data visualization.

The SparkFun Inventor's Kit Lab Pack v4.1.2 includes:

• 10 SparkFun Inventor's Kit -- v4.2
• 1 SparkFun Inventor's Kit Refill Pack
• 50 Alkaline Batteries -- AA

In the latest revision of the SparkFun Inventor's Kit - v4.1.2, the Black HDPE Carrying Case has been replaced with a new SparkFun Carrying Case for enhanced durability and convenience.
