Arduino Kits to borrow
An Arduino is a microcontroller used to build digital devices and interactive objects. Learn how Arduino is "open-sourcing imagination" on YouTube.
Kits include the Arduino itself, an instructional booklet and all the components needed to complete projects in the booklet. We offer three kits for different skill levels.
Kit skill levels
- Basic: An introduction to Arduino for the absolute beginner. Learn to code projects that use LEDs and buttons.
- Intermediate: Expand on the skills learned from the Basic kit or jump in here if you already have some Arduino coding knowledge. Learn to code projects that use a temperature sensor and potentiometers.
- Advanced: For experienced Arduino coders and anyone who has completed the projects in the first two kits. Learn to build projects that use motors and an integrated circuit.
