Lost in space kit was bought for our kids for Christmas. Still at lesson 1 as the instructions/videos are fast and a bit vague. On Chrome OS the board has to be disconnected/reconnected with every upload. Didn’t work at all with windows. Turned out to be the biggest disappointment for Christmas rather than a new learning opportunity for our kid who has really gotten in to coding. Save your money and just let your kid download Scratch.

Unresponsive to queries as to where my parcel is. Called UPS and provided tracking number from Inventr and was informed it was not a UPS tracking number. Checked link again and "final" address appears to be incorrect. Have been waiting 4 weeks for this parcel and disappointed that I appear to not be receiving it and company not interested in resolving. Was meant to be a gift for a college lecturer who I'm sure would have purchased more for his class if suitable. I have replied to your email, in fact I've sent you 3 emails (22/23/25th Jan) and 2 contact forms (24th/26th Jan). You have my details. Refund the order.

The hardware is fantastic, and it is utterly RUINED by the painfully boring and slow videos. As an adult, I can't even make it through a single video, it is so slow, dull and boring. My 12 year old has absolutely no desire to watch more than 2 minutes. A 27 minute video describes an activity that could literally be described in 5 minutes... but no, the man in the video talks in a slow, monotone voice... it is like torture. Think 'Catholic priest who is also bored'. By the end of each 27 minute video, I hate the sound of his droning voice, and I end up hating the entire experience. If it wasn't so expensive, I wouldn't submit to this at all... It's such a shame, because as I said, the hardware and concept are fantastic! I don't know if this is the owner doing the videos or what... and maybe there wasn't anybody qualified to tell him he needs to hire somebody else... ANYBODY else... but they really screwed it up by selecting this engineer to be the main narrator.

Two stars lost because it advertised that it would be an epic "lost in space" adventure, but the only learning thing is a bunch of yt lectures. That's fine if it wasn't for the frequent "good job! You've learned x! You are on your way to getting off this planet!"'s every few minutes. The story is very... half-hearted to say the least, but at least you learn stuff from this.

Very unresponsive. I email lots a time to change my address but nothing. I try to cancel my order and still nothing. So make sure everything or else. I email from November 15 to December 10 and nothing and now my package is going to the wrong address. The support is tge worst.

I purchased their lost-in-space kit in early November to get ahead of the Christmas rush. I received a notification that it shipped reasonably quickly. However, weeks went by, and still no package. Tracking showed that it hadn't been updated in weeks so I reached out to customer service. I received a generic response not acknowledging my concern that shipping hadn't been updated. Basically saying here's the info, you figure it out. I replied that I needed them to open a case with UPS regarding the package - AND I HAVE NEVER HEARD FROM THEM AGAIN. Here we are now coming up on Christmas, and I'm shopping for another present for the same person because of this disaster. Shipping accidents might be out of their control but customer service is not. Edit- package received after an extended delay but still haven’t received any communication from support. Stars updated to reflect.

Awesome! I've been looking for something like this for a while, and this is perfect! The parts are super nice and the course is very cool and helpful! Thank you guys so much for doing this! Super excited!

Could someone help me find the story or lesson that goes along with the kit? It there a printable link in an email? I am in hopes the story (journey is very engaging. I have spent this much for an Elegoo kit that had 100 projects. Please help me finding the missing part.
