An Educators Guide To Getting started with Arduino


With electronics as a solid requirement of the New Zealand unit standard for education it can be a hard choice of how to get the right information across to young minds, keep them entertained while keeping costs manageable for the school. That's why we're offering to help you find the perfect kit, guide or components to meet your requirements.  We think you'll love what we have to offer...

Our Guides

What's more, our easy to follow guides take you through step by step with each guide and come with a complete kit containing the components needed for that exercise (except parts that came in previous kits. That way you're not buying something twice that you already have from a previous kit).  Check them out here...

Something Custom?

Looking for something specific or different from what we offer on the site? No problem, just get in touch with your requirements and we'll help build something up for you.

Contact us and we'll be happy to help get the right kit suggestion to you that fits within skill-set and budget.

Need Help? We're Here.

MindKits was born out of a passion to teach and show others the fun of electronics so we're here to help. You just have to ask.

Great Kits and Guides for Educatiors

Pick up all the needed kit for each tutorial here and make learning Arduino fun and stress free. The kits have everything needed for each tutorial but leave out anything in the kits for previous tutorials. This means you'll never have to buy something twice and always have just what you need to make your way through the tutorial (we do pop a  few extra resistors in there though as they're always handy).
