## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing value.
*by A***R on 28 November 2024*

It took a long time for me to work out that there are actually very detailed tutorials with everything you need to use every part of this kit so it sat in the box. The tutorials are difficult to find though. It's basically a 300 page manual and all the code is also available. Apparently the link is on the box but I missed that. I think I googled for instructions and found them that way. I have book marked the document and I just click which experiment my son wants to do in the contents section and then print the relevant pages and download the corresponding code to the device.Great for my 9 year old who is interested in coding

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great kit and projects to expand the BBC Microbit.
*by C***K on 5 July 2022*

A Great Kit. Very good tutorial. Had a small problem in getting the LCD working with the python code, but quickly sorted by the support department via email.Would highly reccomend if you want to start learning programming.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pretty good
*by I***? on 3 April 2020*

Some teething trouble with the LCD display (the backlight link had fallen off or was not fitted and was loose in the packaging).But otherwise largely "just works" - some difficulty getting the LCD library incorporated into another project but got there in the end.Kit relies 100% on the online microbit.org site and the editor on that site but it's pretty easy to use.Good so far getting the kids engaged on it.
