    • Electronics Kits

      Arduino Grove Beginner Kit (as supplied in the starter pack) can be purchased from Seed Studio, note these prices are in USD, or they can be purchased locally from Core Electronics

      The Duinotech kits with Arduino Uno Boards (as supplied in the starter pack) can be purchased from Electus 

      If your school is using the Duinotech kits with Arduino Mega boards (as supplied in previous years) and wish to purchase more, these are available from Jaycar

      Additional components such as ultrasonic or infra red sensors can be purchased from Altronics.

      Note: Purchasing multiple kits/components or shopping around can help reduce the price further.

      If schools are interested in soldering and learning about electronics components a variety of Electronics Kits can be purchased from UniSA Outreach. We have kits including Game 4, which contains 16 functions built into the board and is a great entry level board, over engineered to cope with backwards LEDs and other common errors to ensure the students get the kit functioning. We also have more advanced kits including Music Matcher which creates an octave of capacitive touch keys allowing simple tunes to be played, as well as in built memory and reaction rate games. 

      UniSA also offers a short online course learning about Arduino coding. For information about this course or to enrol students go to this link:

      Engineering Map

      The dimensions for the engineering task are provided in the task criteria and can be reproduced in any manner, however should you want to purchase the exact map as a vinyl roll our banner this can be done through Print Lord by ordering the UniSA Target Map. Cost $180 plus GST

      Files for 3D printing

      The custom made 3D printed chickens (as supplied in the starter pack) can be printed from the following .stl files

      Note: The components to make the chicken need to be scaled 200% but the egg holder is already to scale.
