Scratch與PicoBoard是學習軟硬體整合互動的絕佳入門工具，簡單易上手，均為Open Source。
PicoBoard是Scratch官方麻省理工學院媒體實驗室所支持與開發的外接式感應板，屬於開放硬體，提供5項偵測器：光線、聲音、滑桿、按鈕與電阻。透過這些偵測器，互動設計可以更為多樣化，例如在射擊遊戲中，可透過滑桿控制角色位置，以及按鈕來發射物件，讓使用者經驗更加地直覺。
此外，也可以進行實驗，如透過電阻的偵測認識物質導電性。當然，也可以利用這些偵測器的特性設計出一些創意作品。
SparkFun PicoBoard入門套件是您開始學習有關SparkFun PicoBoard和Scratch編程的得力助手。套件中包括了控制板與多個模組，不需要任何焊接，非常適合初學者！快來試試看熟悉Scratch與感應器的結合運用吧！
The SparkFun PicoBoard Starter Kit is your go-to source to begin learning everything about the SparkFun PicoBoard and the Scratch programming environment. This kit includes your very own PicoBoard, multiple pieces of hardware to get you started, and connecting components to get you hooked up. Using the Scratch programming language, you can easily create simple interactive programs based on the input from sensors. The PicoBoard incorporates a light sensor, sound sensor, a button and a slider, as well as four additional inputs that can sense electrical resistance via included cables.
The on-line Getting Started Guide (found in the Documents section below) contains step by step instructions of how to set up your PicoBoard and how to program it in the Scratch programming environment. We have supplied plenty of detailed images on how to get started.
This kit will not require any soldering and is recommended for all ages interested in getting started with programming. So if you are an educators or even a beginner, the SparkFun Picoboard Starter Kit is a great way to get into the very basics of programming and reading sensors!
Note: The PicoBoard is a derivative work of the Scratch Sensor Board.
