The SIK includes everything you need to complete five overarching projects consisting of 16 interconnected circuits that teach everything from blinking an LED to reading sensors. The culminating project is your very own autonomous robot! No previous programming or electronics experience is required to use this kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.sparkfun.com\/datasheets\/Kits\/SIK\/SIK_v4_Book_Oct_25_FINAL.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eonline guide\u003c\/a\u003e contains step-by-step instructions with circuit diagrams and hookup tables for building each project and circuit with the included parts. Full example code is provided, new concepts and components are explained at point of use, and troubleshooting tips offer assistance if something goes wrong.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe kit does not require any soldering and is recommended for beginners ages 10 and up who are looking for an Arduino starter kit. For SIK version 4.0 we took an entirely different approach to teaching embedded electronics. In previous versions of the SIK, each circuit focused on introducing a new piece of technology.
