Product Description
See Why Let’s Start Coding Kits are More than Toys
When you get a Let’s Start Coding kit, you get so much more than a toy. With 100s of free online projects, kids learn real computer code that unleashes their creativity. Kids create custom programs at their own pace, then upload their code to their electronic kit for an immediate & tangible outcome.

What kind of computer do I need?
Our kits are compatible with most Windows, Mac, and Chromebook laptops & desktops. This includes Windows 7 and up & Mac OSX 10.9 and up. Our kits are not compatible with tablets or smartphones. We do not support Linux computers, but they may work.
Do I need an internet connection?
Yes, our coding software is online. You can use a Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, or Opera web browser to code.
Do I have to subscribe to the coding projects/software?
No, our projects and resources are free and open for anyone with a kit. There are no logins or passwords for kids to forget – they can just open a web browser and start coding!
Can my kids share this kit?
Yes. When code is uploaded to the kit, it overwrites the last program that was loaded. You can share a kit and upload an infinite number of programs to it. Kids can also work together on the challenges – called pair programming – and most enjoy that.
Do I need to start with another Let’s Start Coding kit before I try this one?
No, all of our kits are designed for total beginners. Each kit covers coding basics like loops, variables, and functions. We recommend getting the kit that best fits your child’s interests and getting other kits over time as they complete them.
Whatever your child’s interest or your budget, we have a coding kit for them!

Designed from the Ground Up to Give Kids a Successful Coding Experience
All the fun of coding & circuits. None of the headache. Let’s Start Coding has combined easy-to-use electronics, online lessons & videos, & example code to bring your tween & teen kids the best way to start learning real code. Parents, you don’t have to be an expert to get them started; kids start with our pre-written example code & ‘tinker’, experimenting with the code & trying out our challenges through our free online software. Let’s Start Coding resources have been designed by educators & coders to teach the core concepts in a way that engages kids 8 & up, challenges their minds, & introduces them to core coding concepts while they have fun! Our team has spent hundreds of hours leading workshops, camps, & classes through the beginning of their coding journey, so the method is proven & based on feedback from real beginners. Our breadboard- & wire-free electronic construction makes it a snap to create circuits – imagine a Snap Circuits kit that is codeable. Finally, an introduction to real, typed coding that doesn’t require textbooks, in-person tutors, or searching for high-quality information online. If you really want your kids to get ahead with your coding skills, the Let’s Start Coding kits are the all-in-one product you’re looking for. Following over 60 step-by-step projects with over 1,000 lines of example code & nearly 4 hours of video content, teen girls will learn about Analog vs. digital logic, How fast computers can process logic & sensor readings, How computers are programmed to “make decisions”, Building basic electrical circuits (ground vs. power), & Displaying ‘data’ in creative ways using the lights & sound & they will learn how to modify their programs & write their own creative code with these skills!Kids get immediate feedback when they build something with their kits. Our component guides & online resources help tweens build real electronic projects. Kids are introduced to real, typed coding concepts in the C++ coding language, used by major companies & government agencies like NASA. Ignite your kids’ passion for STEM & set them up for a career in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Math! Even if your kids don’t become full-time computer programmers, they can use their coding skills in video game development, website design, robotics, design, mechanical engineering, or any number of other fields. Computing jobs are expected to grow faster than other occupations in the coming decade. Getting your child started exploring code now is an investment that pays off with huge benefits. Consider a coding kit as the smart option that will keep both kids & parents happy. Kids learn code logic, styling, syntax, loops, variables, functions, troubleshooting, & command sequencing. Coding for kids 12 & up has never been easier – our projects are relevant to kids of that age, but still focused on beginners & on building skills up one at a time. As broad as computer coding is, it can be broken into its component parts & learned sequentially. That structure is crucial in coding for beginners – they need the focus that our coding toys provide. Designed & shipped from the USA, we’re dedicated to your success & provide online support, email newsletters that keep kids going, & consistent improvement of our products & lessons online. Parents & teachers praise our kits because their kids are able to get started on their own, without much adult knowledge or guidance. This is important because kids may lead the way as the first coders in their household. Our online resources including videos & challenges help guide kids in their coding journey. Trust one of the most awarded STEM companies in the United States and try a Base Kit today and upgrade to an Ultimate Coding Kit when your kids are ready for their next coding step. Do you need STEM content to bring coding to your makerspace, library, classroom, or club? Let’s Start Coding kits are for kids 8 and up, or grades 3 and up, with flexible and expandable content that can keep up with your smartest kids! Boys and girls aged 8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15 and over will love the hands-on electronics that beep, light up, sense, and “click” with mini buttons, sensors, LED lights, and more. Consider the Let’s Start Coding kits over the microbit (micro:bit), makey makey, snap circuits, sphero, and other alternatives. Why? Because Let’s Start Coding has had educators, librarians, school club leaders, and summer camps in mind since it’s very beginning. Many of our kits include text and block-based (Blockly / Scratch) coding projects so kids can easily transition from Hour of Code or Code Combat into real-world electronics powered by code! With awards from the Modern Library Association, Purdue University college of engineering, and countless parent and teacher organizations, Let’s Start Coding Base Kit, Code Rocket, Code Car, Code Piano, Code Lab, Ultimate Kit, and Piano Jumbo are perfect items to infuse science, technology, & engineering into your classroom for years to come.
