Maker UNO X Learning Box

Arduino is one of the easiest platforms to learn digital making. However, many students, as well as the teachers, still find it is difficult to get started and get familiar with Arduino. This is usually due to two reasons:

• Most of the students and teachers do not have knowledge in either electronics or coding or both
• Most of the beginner's guides and sample codes are developed by the technical people who have forgotten what it's like to be a beginner

This product aims to solve this problem for beginners who want to learn Arduino and digital making for the first time. The learning material is intentionally designed to allow beginners to see the results (programming output) immediately, get excited, then follow by the superficial explanation on how things work.

This product consists of 17 interesting projects that cover 7 fundamental topics in digital making.
