Crazy Circuits Programming 101 Classroom Circuit Kit

Learning how to program is like learning a foreign language: it takes patience and passion! This Crazy Circuits Programming 101 Classroom Circuit Kit focuses on inspiring students and engaging them in the how and why behind programming — not just on writing lines of code. Plus, the free online curriculum contains activity pages, assessments, diagrams, and videos aligned to Common Core and NGSS standards, making it easy to integrate the teacher-approved projects with your existing curriculum.

The Programming 101 Classroom line was designed as a complete classroom solution for teaching electronics.   Every set comes with a Teacher Box which includes a full set of supplies as well as additional materials.
