New kit designed for teachers and students to learn about programming, electronics, design and logic

Mouser is now offering the new Grove Zero kit from Seeed Studio. The kit contains a set of colour-coded, magnetic electronic modules that enables teachers and students to learn about programming, electronics, design, and logic. The kit is a collection of plug-and-play modules. Each kit comes with a built-in microcontroller preconfigured with code. These modules are colour-coded according to their function, for example, as a sensor input or LED output. These modules snap together using magnetic connectors allowing students to connect the modules without worrying about order or direction. The kit's modules also feature 2.54mm breakout pads for advanced users or students ready to learn how to solder and build simple circuits. The modules are programmable through the Arduino IDE and the Module Matcher or Microsoft MakeCode graphical interfaces. The kit comes with student resources, a teacher’s guide, and detailed curriculum written by experienced educators, allowing teachers to bring these lesson into their classrooms, regardless of previous experience with electronics.
