Overview
Quickly and easily get started with learning electronics using the Arduino Starter Kit, which have a universal appeal to STEM fans at home, businesses in STEAM industries, and schools alike. No prior experience is required, as the kits introduce both coding and electronics through fun, engaging, and hands-on projects. You can use the starter kit to teach students about current, voltage, and digital logic as well as the fundamentals of programming. There’s an introduction to sensors and actuators and how to understand both digital and analog signals. Within all this, you’ll be teaching students how to think critically, learn collaboratively, and solve problems.
Projects you can make:
- 01 GET TO KNOW YOUR TOOLS an introduction to the basics
- 02 SPACESHIP INTERFACE design the control panel for your starship
- 03 LOVE-O-METER measure how hot-blooded you are
- 04 COLOR MIXING LAMP produce any color with a lamp that uses light as an input
- 05 MOOD CUE clue people in to how you're doing
- 06 LIGHT THEREMIN create a musical instrument you play by waving your hands
- 07 KEYBOARD INSTRUMENT play music and make some noise with this keyboard
- 08 DIGITAL HOURGLASS a light-up hourglass that can stop you from working too much
- 09 MOTORIZED PINWHEEL a colored wheel that will make your head spin
- 10 ZOETROPE create a mechanical animation you can play forward or reverse
- 11 CRYSTAL BALL a mystical tour to answer all your tough questions
- 12 KNOCK LOCK tap out the secret code to open the door
- 13 TOUCHY-FEEL LAMP a lamp that responds to your touch
- 14 TWEAK THE ARDUINO LOGO control your personal computer from your Arduino
- 15 HACKING BUTTONS create a master control for all your devices!
Once you’ve mastered this knowledge, you’ll have a palette of software and circuits that you can use to create something beautiful, and make someone smile with what you invent. Then build it, hack it and share it. You can find the Arduino code for all these projects within the Arduino IDE, click on File / Examples / 10.StarterKit.

This project shows how to create a security system using the camera of an Arduino Nicla Vision board. The system automatically triggers a camera snapshot when presence is detected. Presence is detected when the system detects a sound level that exceeds a configurable threshold. The whole system is controlled by an Arduino Cloud dashboard.
Shortly after attending a recent tinyML workshop in Sao Paolo, Brazil, Joao Vitor Freitas da Costa was looking for a way to incorporate some of the technologies and techniques he learned into a useful project. Given that he lives in an area which experiences elevated levels of pickpocketing and automotive theft, he turned his attention to a smart car security system. His solution to a potential break-in or theft of keys revolves around the incorporation of an Arduino Nicla Vision board running a facial recognition model that only allows the vehicle to start if the owner is sitting in the driver’s seat. The beginning of the image detection/processing loop involves grabbing the next image from the board’s camera and sending it to a classification model where it receives one of three labels: none, unknown, or Joao, the driver. Once the driver has been detected for 10 consecutive seconds, the Nicla Vision activates a relay in order to complete the car’s 12V battery circuit, at which point the vehicle can be started normally with the ignition. Through this project, da Costa was able to explore a practical application of vision models at-the-edge to make his friend’s car safer to use. To see how it works in more detail, you can check out the video below and delve into the tinyML workshop he attended here.
