EDU: BIT is an educational toy designed with the purpose of simplifying STEM education and empower children with coding habilities, though a series of creative, hands-on activities. It consists of a PCB with multiple interesting components, such as LED’s (in all forms and shapes, even a matrix of them), motors, a potentiometer, push-buttons, a sound sensor, a piezo buzzer, and even cables, everything you need to connect the circuits.

The PCB is very well thought-out, avoiding the need for messy wires that come with breadboard projects, and some incredible attention to detail, containing even LED indicators for all the I/O pins. Besides, it is snappable, so that the sensors and the other components can be used separately on other projects and supports up to 2 DC motors and 3 servo motors.

This kit comes with the fully illustrated guide book, in the book, there are sections with flowcharts that show how to “break the code”, in a cartoon-ish style that seems very appealing. The coding itself is provided by building blocks, providing a high-level representation of the underlying Javascript or Python. This is where an adult can aid the learning process of their children, by making sure they are taking a glance at the language and engaging with it, not just dragging and dropping the block code. Speaking of engaging, the interface seems easy to use and suitable for kids.
