“Great kit . Bought this and the Let it Glow set to essentially create a 24 day calendar! The day by day reveal over Christmas added to the fun, but I agree with other comments that this kit could be used all year round. Straightforward to follow with a good introduction of fundamentals. Also some great components (so the kit was good value, particularly compared to other introductory kits I've seen). After building the 12 projects with my 11 year old, we spent some time over Christmas making various games out of the various components. Also worth saying that although we went through one calendar and then another, this didn't diminish it - if anything it was good reinforcement of the principles and then we had a lot more components to use by Christmas day!”

“This was a late Christmas present for my ten year old niece, and she loves it. She's already using Scratch, so this is the next level. Instructions are clear and the projects fun - I might get myself one!”

“I bought this as a project for myself and my son to work on together. My son is not particularly interested in electronics, but we had fun working on this. The big hit was the "beam breaking" game. The whole family joined in trying to beat the high score. The instructions and explanations were very good. It was a bit difficult to find them on the website, but once we found them, they were great. There are clear, detailed images of each project and they step you through setting them up. The code examples were explained well and easy to follow/understand.”

“First "fancy" advent calendar I've ever bought myself, and very glad I did. I'm a software developer, but know precious little about the hardware side of things, so this is a great introduction and provides so many components to tinker with - even though I've completed the 12 Days, I still have plenty of other project ideas to be getting on with, so I'd say the contents is well worth the price for the amount of use you can get out of it. The guidance provided is clear and simple - lots of wiring diagrams - and, while my own two children were more interested in the results than the set-up, I think an older child would be able to follow along quite easily. Looking forward to trying the "Let it Glow" version next Christmas!”

“Excellent introduction to tinkering around with microcontroller boards. Lots of fun to go through the exercises daily and learn about possible sensors and inputs that can be used.”

“I’m not the best coder out there but I do enjoy a good project. It’s a fun little thing to get for yourself or a loved one who wants in on the coding adventure. I’d say it’s good for any age group (beware of small parts).”
