At around sixteen dollars, the inclusion of the Pico, breadboard, and I2C LCD alone make this a worthwhile purchase. But the addition of all the jumper wires, assorted LEDs, switches, resistors, and a few of the other sensors just puts it over the top. I haven't tried everything in the box yet, but what I have used more than made up for the price. I did find one bad jumper wire so far. Kind of an odd thing to be bad, but I just tossed that one (there are dozens that come in the kit) but worth mentioning that you should check items individually before putting them in a project or you might pull your hair out wondering what your code is doing wrong, when it could be as simple as a bad jumper wire. Otherwise, for the price, this gives you everything you need to start getting going with your own projects on the Pico. [Edit: Things I forgot to mention that don't make me lower my rating, but you should know before going in. The description contains the words "CD" and "bluetooth" - but that's wrong. There is no CD, but not sure what you'd want from one anyway. All the info you will need is online, and the any software you'll need to get started is available from the Raspberry Pi site. The board is the regular Pico, NOT the Pico W (which would have bluetooth and wifi) - this is apparent from the pics if you're familiar with the boards, but the description is off, so you should know that. One criticism of the bundle of components. There are no specs included for the components. So, you'll want to look them up by their name/model#. Many of these components could be used for both Pico or Arduino projects, so you'd want to know whether they need/can accept 3.3v (pico) or 5v (arduino) so that you can design your circuits accordingly. For example, the LEDs don't list any forward voltages, so you just have to assume they follow the typical values for LEDs of their color (you can find that info online) so you can pair them with an appropriate resistor in your circuit. Finding info on components is something you should be used to with when doing electronic projects, so it didn't affect my decision, but could be confusing for a first time builder.]

Lots of fun projects to complete with this. Easy entry into this type of hobby or work.

Good starter kit. I like that it comes neat. Works well but a cool addition would be a camera

Nice starter kit for the price. I didn’t know anything about Micropython and the tutorial wasn’t too helpful for me. I recommend to watch a YouTube video called “Pico Course for Beginners” the channel is called: Core Electronics.
