GBI bought the 30 days lost in space and… I bought the 30 days lost in space and so far it has been amazing. Very good for beginners. I have had to reach out to them for a few problems I had, they were kind and responsive. I even broke my HERO board and they offered to replace it. Good people work here who want you to learn about electronics. Their shipment might take awhile- but I wont give less stars, since it isn't a huge company that can afford next day shipping or immediate email replies

CASave money - get Scratch Lost in space kit was bought for our kids for Christmas. Still at lesson 1 as the instructions/videos are fast and a bit vague. On Chrome OS the board has to be disconnected/reconnected with every upload. Didn’t work at all with windows. Turned out to be the biggest disappointment for Christmas rather than a new learning opportunity for our kid who has really gotten in to coding. Save your money and just let your kid download Scratch.

GBThe tutorials are well written but you need an active story to make it sparlke The tutorials are well written and work fine. the progression (so far) has worked well for me. I'm an adult entering this hobby, so the dry presentation is ok. however, were I a 12-year-old just thinking about electronics, the lack of a developed story line would drive me away. the story line is there but frankly you need an actor. you need a person who thru voice and visual content encourages the "astronaut" to fix their craft or they might die! build a little tension! so my recomendation is that the program is great BUT you need a script writer and an actor to perform the teacher role.

GBThe website wouldn't finish processing… The website wouldn't finish processing my order after I confirmed my CC information. Waited 30 minutes and it was still hung at 75% and I have no idea how to cancel. I have created an account in the hope I can find some customer service information. I ultimately did receive a receipt and later an order confirmation. Then I realized I hadn't included my full correct shipping address. By the time I started an email to request they change their customer service contacted me because their system had flagged the issue of a missing apartment #. I was relieved and impressed. So far so good.🤞

GBGreat starting course Despite some early issues with delivery to the uk (swiftly resolved by amazing Customer Service), I can highly recommend this course. 30 day/daily broadcasts format really help to maintain motivation, and first programming course that didn’t bore me to death with starting with ton of theory before you actually do something. First time you make LED Blink or buzzer beep is oddly satisfying. Keep up the good work team and all the best!
