Engineering & Coding

This invention kit uses conductivity to make electrical connections to almost any object. Since this tool is so flexible so is the integration. This tool requires the maker to rethink concepts like programing and engineering and make connection to the real world. Program your kit to become an instrument, video game controller or anything else students can dream up.

Making Coding a Snap! Snapino® is an introduction to the open-source Arduino hardware-software coding environment embraced by the Maker community worldwide. Arduino is the most popular microcontroller used by Makers and Do-It-Yourselfers to MAKE and DO. No need for breadboarding since Snap Circuits® snap together and make prototyping circuit designs a snap!

Features:

Our Snapino® module is a fully-compatible Arduino UNO board with all normal features and is compatible with other Arduino shields and components. Snapino can be used with other Snap Circuits® sets to make larger circuits. Includes 20 projects that gradually introduce you to Arduino coding with sketches (programs) already written for operating the 14 included parts. Additionally, you will find sketches written for Snapino® with other Snap Circuits® sets so you can keep your fun going.
