    Luckily I was in year 7 when this was released

    I've bought some components and will be making a project on my programming channel

    What a shite way to get kids in to coding. A little bare circuit board with a 5×5 screen. If they have a phone then just give them a BASIC package for phones. Not a single child is going to become interested in coding because of this. Such a strange angle to present to them.

    Nice video Julian. I just got mine! In my opinion, this little board is fantastic for people just starting to program!

    expensive education = not an education

    I wish the US did that. Instead we promote stupidity like creationism to kids. This country is doomed.

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Marco Mazzini says:

    Aaaah… seven years old kids… they don't have a pc at home, but they have a smartphone…

    I remember these. I asked my teacher if he knew of arduino and he didn’t. We would have got so much more out of getting cheap nano clones in the class. Coding with blocks is a joke.
