Im really enjoying the lost in space kit and you are doing great teaching me how to use it! no complaints thank you!

This is a great kit for kids to learn the basics. The videos go in to just enough detail so they learn, but aren't overwhelmed. The box for the kit itself is too small for the items in it. I ended up buying a box for organizing beads and that worked out way better. Overall, a great experience and we'll be purchasing more in the future.

My review is mixed. I love the idea and the product. The kit is amazing, containing all the parts needed to build the lessons laid out for the hobbyist. The lesson plan is good too, taking things slowly, one step at a time. Proceeding in this fashion, I find myself learning new capabilities steadily and capably. So why not a five star review? At this time, I believe more work is needed to get to a level where the product is truly great. It does not appear that the development, marketing, and management team have ever taken the course. If they had, they would catch all the little things that weaken its effectiveness. Mistakes in the presentation, objects discussed that are not in the camera field of view, mismatches between the video and the displayed code and breadboard, and Alex's numerous errors in his presentation. Alex is very knowledgeable, but he needs coaching to help make the video more effective. I don't know if we are watching the first take, an edited first take, or a second take, but if any of these, there should be another take to present the video in a clear, compelling manner without missing parts, backtracking, and corrections. Again, good job to the team for the concept and the product. Keep honing your product to make for a pleasurable, instructive experience. BTW, I am up to Day 11 of the course, so this is an interim review.

Ordered kit from RadioShack. Missing 3 pieces to the kit and getting no response from Inventr. Can't move past Day 1 in the challenge.

I ordered the 30 Days Lost in Space kit and I absolutely love it. The instructions are excellent, and Alex is a great instructor. Well worth the money if you are willing to put the time in.

I’m having a very hard time finding a driver to install on my Mac mini which will work with the kit board. Shipping for me took about a month so thank you for the apology.

I love the idea for the project, its an engaging way to learn about connecting your computer to the non-internet. It basically covers the class material of a Sophomore level EE course I took at college in 84. I did have one problem, the HERO board that came with the kit was dead ( it happens ). Took awhile to debug the problem. Since it seemed like kits were sold out I purchased an UNO board. Same functionality as the HERO but has one feature I think is really nice. There is a clear plastic cover over the back of the board. All in all I am very happy with the product

The lesson included with the kit have been good, but unfortunately the kit shipped without the correct products included, and so far several of them I've found to be defective. I received an email response saying it would be rectified, but a few weeks later and I haven't heard any update.
