TechToast Academy: 25-Week Learn & Build Program

We had such a great experience with the TechToast Academy kit! It was fun seeing everything come together step by step, and the best part was the excitement when the first project actually worked. I love that it turns screen time into a hands-on learning experience while making electronics and coding feel fun and approachable. We’re excited to keep working through the projects!

We are having so much fun learning to code and completing the weekly assignments. I have zero experience with electronics and coding, but the instructions are very helpful; the images included help guide our placement of parts, and we have been so impressed with ourselves. It's a fun challenge, but very gratifying.

The kit itself is pretty solid. The breadboard numbers are a bit hard to read though and not clear. This could be remedied with the purchase of a new board. I think the value is in the projects themselves however I do believe some fundamental or foundations are missing for understanding the breadboard and arduino etc. The first project just jumps right into turning on a light but skips basic principles of the breadboard and how electricity flows across it, and the basics of the arduino. Again, rectified through independent study and research but if you are selling a kit for 8+ years of age I think some simple and easy to follow foundational tutorials may be beneficial for your consumers. Otehrwise, its a great kit that has everything for a child or adult to get started on learning!
