A basic starter kit inspired by the Raspberry Pi Pico Guide. You can either build quick projects with the official book or create your own using dozens of components (see below).

Beginner-friendly tutorial book with codes. Great for both first-time Pico users and kids. Full SDK and datasheet references for experienced developers. Compatible with any of your favorite platforms and operating systems.

Things you can make:

Traffic light controller. Reaction game. Burglar alarm w/ motion sensor and buzzer. Temprature monitoring. Using an I2C or SPI display.
