      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:
