The Microcontroller Science Kit by Thames & Kosmos kit introduces you to microcontrollers, sensors, and programming through 100 experiments. The educational kit includes 100 experiments involving light, heat and sound sensors, data collection and more. Kids will learn about the inner workings of computers and programs and how to assemble circuits, design circuits and write programs. Microcontroller Science Kit by Thames & Komos received a Spring 2007 Parents’ Choice Silver Award. As our everyday devices become increasingly “smart” with embedded technology, microcontrollers are becoming more and more important. Build devices that use sensors to monitor and record data, and use the data to control motors, buzzers, lights, and a digital display. Write programs to control the devices you build. The number of possible experiments is infinite. The 100-page, full-color experiment manual guides your circuit assemblies and programming. Requires one 9-Volt Battery (not included) or a standard Power Adapter (not included).Software System Requirements: PC with Microsoft® Windows® 98, 2000 or XP operating system Minimum 64 MB of RAM Minimum 5 MB of free hard disk space Available 9-pin serial (COM) or USB port CD-ROM driveAges 12 and up.By Thames & Kosmos
