Purchased the 30 days lost in space kit to work through with my 11yo daughter over a summer. We didn't want to rush through 30 days - only working 2-3 days a week, but we finished it just past the summer session and she had a lot of fun with it. The videos are not bad - all the code is pretty much given so I had to act as a teacher to my daughter.

Do not expect this to be an intro to programming, or even an intro to hardware/electronics. The videos do talk about the different hardware units that get introduced, but not in very heavy details, which is probably good to keep the attention of a young mind.

I would say it is a great parent-child learn together type of kit, and we definitely enjoyed it enough to start building new projects with the kit AFTER we finished the program.

I absolutely love the concept of this kit. The idea of a physical kit where the learner plays a role in a story, and learns and builds things along the way is absolutely brilliant to me.

Electronics and education have long been a passion area for me, and I've done a lot of thinking and learning about producing educational video content. That said, the videos incorporate some great ideas. They use a mix of live-recorded video (from a couple of useful angles, like both the instructor's face, and a document cam view of the hardware on his desk, plus graphics and screen capture of the instructor's computer. They put together these elements in such a way that you can always see what's appropriate at that time for illustrative purposes, and always among space ship theming elements. In that regard, the developers of the kit have executed on many of the things that I feel are important in educational videos.

However, the actual presentation itself leaves much to be desired. The audio sounds like it was recorded from the built-in mic on a laptop, in a small untreated office. He speaks in a a monotone voice, and he's looking away from the camera most of the time to read his script, which I feel tries to teach beginner concepts using intermediate vocabulary, and sometimes uses vague and wandering descriptions of concepts. That might have worked alright during a beta rollout, but for final product release, I feel like hiring an actor and having someone more versed in presentation review the script, would have taken an okay product and made it great.

Got the package today. It was well packed, the box was smaller than I expected. It was very difficult to cram it all back in again.
Opened the packages and everything looked good except the I/O sockets on the Hero board were not well aligned. That might be an issue later if I need to use a shield on it.

The real test will be the lessons.

I have yet to use the Hero board but my experience with this company has been noteworthy. I made a mistake in ordering my Hero and altho the address was correct, the name on the package was not. MY FAULT TOTALLY. The post office sent the package back. I contacted customer service, they were quick to respond to my emails and re-shipped the package back to me in an expedient manner. Kudos!! to their customer service. Now, on to the adventure of building and programming.

I have experience Arduino and basically wanted to see what was different about the Hero offering from this company. So I ordered a sample board and worked with the lessons.
Company itself, shipped it quick and answered questions. The product is good. it works with standard Arduino libs and looks like an Uno. The benefit this company brings is their lessons and training which seem to be very well thought out, organized, and especially easy to access.

My engineering club has been working on this project and they really like it! Super fun!!i

This company is great! I ordered the "30 days lost in space" kit and it was amazing! 5/5 would recommend!

Great introduction to the Arduino processor world - maybe a little 'basic' in the first few lessons but builds to more complex and practical uses of this powerful little platform - exposure to lots of extra material via links to library functions and the Open Source Arduino community. Good Stuff!!

Great teachers for starting out with Arduino! Give you a lot of experience with various areas and sensors.

Lack of support, unansered questions, general "Don't bother me kid" attitude. It has turned me off of this program, and I HAVE tossed away everything I got for this kit.
Have a 0 day

Thanks for making education so accessible !

good project. online hints helped. kept me occupied for some time.

I had a lot of fun learning and playing along with this kit. It was my first experience with arduino and was a very good introduction to electronics. Sometimes the explanations were a little lacking in regards to why we were doing things the way we were and I felt I was just copying your work. All in all though it was an excellent learning experience and I highly recommend this product.

This was a really fun and easy way to learn!

I have always been very satisfied with Any purchase from Inventr.io.
Good value, good quality,
Sincerely devoted to helping beginners like me to succeed in learning.

I have not finished the course yet due to other obligations but the instructor is so good he makes learning and programming the arduino easy.

I am loving my lost in space adventure kit! I've been looking for a while to up my game in this area. I've been working adjacent to electronics for a few years now, and while I rarely need to understand the hows/whats/whys it has always piqued my interest and I feel I could be more effective if I understood more. I am an aerospace engineer, but specialize in mechanical systems. This tied nicely together the coding and electrical engineering I got back in university in one nice little PRACTICAL package. I love the theme and how the lessons each have a very clear objective and are applied engineering which makes my mechanical/systems heart happy! I find myself immediately asking what if and tinkering with the code and hardware to see what I can achieve.

I have recommended to friends who want to get into automation etc as well as for gifts for kids currently studying engineering. I will be sad when I'm done the program but will continue to tinker with the great little set up provided.

Bought the Lost in Space kit for my kids (ages 6 and 9). It's a bit advanced for them at the moment, but they're fast learners and love a challenge. We are currently working thru some more basic coding lessons to catch us up on our skills before we come back to Lost in Space, but there is such a wealth of info and projects, I can see we will be busy for years to come!
