I was looking at the Arduino Engineering Kit Rev 2 for an adult education class on robotics (being taught at a technical High School) and was wondering if this kit would be appropriate. The people in the class may have diverse backgrounds, not necessarily engineering and I didn’t want to use a kit that maybe too complex or complicated for people to work with. I still was hoping to use something that gained them experience with servos, controllers, etc and this seemed like a good option. Do you have any thoughts on this kit for this type of application? Do you have other recommendations? I was planning on also getting the Arduino starter kit and doing some more basic projects with the class first to gain experience with the Arduinos and programming them. I appreciate any of your advice or feedback.
That kit is great but does use some advanced concepts (aimed for college engineering students and similar); here’s a content preview of one of the projects within https://edu-content-preview.arduino.cc/ … VIEW+AEKR2
I’d say beginning with the starter kit seems like a good idea. We do sell a simpler kit https://www.sparkfun.com/products/15631 that has a servo, motors, LEDs, buttons, etc (content preview here https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/sp … uide—v41) that might be just what you’re after
