This kit includes 9 Grove zero modules and is designed for kids who are beginners to graphical programming and robotics. Among these modules, the light sensor, sound sensor and twin-button module are what we call input modules; while the buzzer, RGB LED, LED matrix and servo are categorized as output modules. By connecting one or more modules to the included mainboard and battery module, you can implement a lot of your exciting and fun projects!

Comprehensive default programs are pre-loaded in any combination of input and output modules (for more info, visit here), that means, you can still explore a variety of interesting projects when snapping them together for the first time.

After having a basic understanding of those modules, you can follow the Invention Guidebook to make one of the suggested projects. Particularly, 5 of the projects can be built without any help from graphical programming. You just need to decorate them with the included project sheet and they will work perfectly with the preloaded default code.

However, the fun doesn't end when you complete all of our projects in the Guidebook. We have graphical programming software, Codecraft to bring unlimited possibilities for your projects. The kit also includes a LEGO-compatible base block for you to integrate LEGO into your creations.

Education Focus

This product helps kids understand the basics of open-source electronics and develop skills in programming. Kids' creative thinking and hands-on skills are nurtured in their electronics learning. Not only can kids build knowledge of the modules and graphical programming, but also they can learn how to create their own DIY projects.

  • Codecraft: CodeCraft is our graphical programming tool that brings hardware to life. Codecraft is regularly updated with demos and example projects to help you get your first project running ASAP!
  • Educational Course Materials: We provide free BitCar-related courses for schools and families. You can get started with BitCar no matter whether you are at class or at home.
