Quick question - is their anyplace local to buy an Arduino starter kit? I can buy off Amazon and have it here on Wednesday however my son is supposed to start a class today using it. I’m hoping I can find some place local that sells them. Gone are the days of Frys!

Thanks for any help.

MC has them… $14.99 for a small one with breadboard and components.

You can also get a Sensor Pack for $29.99. No Arduino in there, but there are lots of different sensors to play with.

@elbanev Can you share any information about the Arduino class your son is taking?

I like the idea of educating kids when they are young and inquisitive.

@Team_Electronics and @Team_Education,

Are there any roadblocks to teaching basic electronics to youth at DMS? Aside from they must be accompanied by an adult?

Parents would need to sign waivers for the kids, an adult would have to be present (within sight) at all times and my preference is that the class would be held in the north lobby classroom.
