Embedding electronics into projects is an exciting way to get kids interested in electronics and programming. Unfortunately, the techniques necessary to create a robust project are not trivial. I've created this system which allows you to:

• Easily create and test a working microcontroller circuit with basic inputs and outputs using standard through-hole components and a printed circuit board.
• Program the circuit using the Open-Source Arduino Integrated Development Environment.
• Snap the pieces apart and easily sew them into a soft circuit project or solder them into an embedded project.

What you get (part numbers are for Digikey)

• 1 - 4 pin RA, 609-3312-ND

Notes:

• Requires a CR2032 battery which is not included due to shipping regulations. Obtain one locally or from Digikey.

Not sure about making a kit? We've made it as easy a possible to assemble. Check out the detailed instructions at Instructables.com. Nothing could be better than creating an electronic project you built and programmed yourself!
