Overview
The Arduino Starter Kit R4 contains everything you need to get started as a 'maker' or to elevate your educational activities to a higher level – no prior knowledge is required! The core of the kit is formed by the UNO R4 WiFi board, which offers excellent performance, built-in wireless connectivity, and compatibility with the entire Arduino ecosystem.
Inside the box, you will find a printed book with 13 guided, hands-on projects, including all the necessary components to build them – and many more projects from our growing online library!
Also included is a voucher for the Arduino certification exam, allowing you to prove your skills to the world.
Once you register the kit online, you will gain access to:
- Extra projects to make the most of the extensive features of the Arduino UNO R4, with continuously new ideas and tutorials from the Arduino team
- Content available in Italian, French, Spanish and German – and soon in even more languages!
- Thanks to simple instructions, familiar components, and hardware ready for wireless applications, the Starter Kit R4 quickly turns ideas into real prototypes. This way, beginners have a rewarding first experience with creating technology themselves.
Key benefits
- Ready for modern creations. The UNO R4 WiFi board offers better performance and built-in Wi-Fi®/Bluetooth®, so you can build modern, connected projects from day one.
- No barriers to programming. Our GenAI programming assistant is readily available in the online editor; it provides suggestions, clarifies concepts, and supports you in your growth.
- Learning by building. Get started with real projects that guide you through sensors, motors, displays, and logic – learning by doing and gradually building more confidence.
- A growing platform. Register your kit for access to more online resources, including translations in various languages and new, original projects released over time by the Arduino team.
- Designed for education. Benefit from clear step-by-step instructions to engage everyone in their personal STEM journey.
- From beginner to certified maker. Have you completed the projects in the book? Then obtain an official Arduino certificate as recognition of your skills. The kit includes a voucher for the exam (one attempt).
What can you build?
Use the Starter Kit R4 to discover how everyday objects become digital: build an interactive lamp that responds to touch, create a musical instrument that you play by waving your hand, and more. In the classroom, you can encourage students to collaborate, iterate, and come up with new ideas together. Each project teaches you essential skills that you can build on later; so, once you're ready, you can take the step to more advanced Arduino boards and bigger ideas.
