Great concept only issues I have are 1 board is to small difficult to work with 2 could use a basic description of what all the coding words mean because I have never had any training as I’m sure most people don’t finding the coding is the hardest concept to grasp 3 better way to store resisters once I used them and they mixed was difficult to identify also could include card showing how to identify the different resister values Like the videos Like the product

I found this kit by accident through an add on Facebook one day. I never thought how involved I would get in this hobby. Through the beginner kit that I have bought, and a the great classes I have worked through, this hobby has become something that I strive to have as a career. The team behind these kits is amazing and helpful. I can't wait to see what they come up with next

I bought this for my grandson while he was here on vacation. I had some trouble loading the program in windows. I am not sure why but after a few tries it finally worked. The electronics part was fine and no problem. the coding was a big problem and my son in law couldn't get it to work either. We finally got through 2 or 3 lessons and it was time for them to leave. I let him take it with him. He does like it and I am going to try to help him. I think this is a very good project for young people now days.

It was both fun, interesting and educational on both learning hardware and software development.

I saw the ad on Facebook and decided to get the 30 Days Lost in Space adventure kit. I have had some education in electronics and am familiar with all the different building blocks (Resistors, LEDs, capacitors, ICs, etc...) I got the kit, did the downloads, and began the adventure. Right off the bat I had a problem. The sketch would not upload to the board. After a number of attempts to get it working I emailed Inventr to tell them. In the meantime I ordered an Arduino board directly from Arduino. It worked just fine. I continued with the Hero board lessons with the new board. I enjoyed doing the different circuits. I did have a little difficulty when a couple of the lessons showed different wiring schemes than the one in the video. A lack of consistency causes confusion. I think a schematic diagram for each lesson would be very helpful. In the meantime I received another whole kit from Inventr to replace the faulty Hero board I got initially. Bravo. It works just fine, and now I have extra parts to play with on the creative days. I can tell this is a fledgling company and they have a ways to go to polish their presentations, but all in all it is a good experience and I am enjoying the lessons. We are all human and we make mistakes. The measure of the company is how it responds to those mistakes. They are responsive to customers through their lesson sites and through emails. I intend to purchase more through InventrKits.

Not well laid out, bounces kids around from external site to external site and expects them to figure out things outside the scope of the learning objective. Good idea, very poor execution given the target audience.

I bought the kit for my son (11) who loves to tinker and build things. I was worried that the coding might be over his head, but he's trucking through. It was so exciting to build the early units together, to see the lights come on and the logic start to make sense. Great product, down to earth, easy to use. When you install the software, be sure to watch all of the first video so you don't waste an hour looking for the drivers like I did.

Great value for the kits/training. The biggest issue is the website is slow at times and have to wait many seconds after clicking on links, but overall it's great.
