    The kit sells for $70 on ebay and you're conveniently charging the taxpayers of NSW $100 for it.

    Thanks for ripping off the taxpayers of NSW.

    Is this a different to your $55 product listed on eBay

    • Lol - I didn't even see the $55 one.

  • thanks OP - I got the voucher anyway but have not used it.

    One Arduino Uno clone, a buzzer, 3 sensors, jumpers, resistors, LEDs. About $10 in parts from China?
    The most expensive component would be the 9V battery (not included).

  • @ratherfrugal can we use voucher on https://edukits.co/shop/coding/sphero-mini/? Thanks.

    • Interested in this

      Suggest you flick them a message on their website and ask. I'd suspect not unless they are running coding lessons with Sphero also.

      • ratherfrugal, i thought you were associated with edukits.co?

        • They are a relative. I like what they do, so wanted to give them a plug.

          • @ratherfrugal: ratherfrugal, want to ask them? :D

            • @NGPriest: Sorry @NGPriest, the answer back is you can't use the vouchers to buy a Sphero mini, only for their coding kit and lessons linked in the post.

  • $50 worth of stuff at most, $40 kit from Little Bird or Jaycar and $10 for the ultrasonic sensor.

    Besides, are kids going to be able to learn this stuff by themselves? Think not.

    To be fair, OP's relo isn't the only vulture out there to milk the Creative Kids voucher scheme, there's plenty of others out there selling arts kits.

    Buy the cheapest nastiest kit off Amazon for $17 and plenty of info online to teach the kids how to play with it. Take this for example:
    https://thinkershield.maas.museum/get-started/

    IIRC there's plenty of other stuff to tinker with on GitHub.

  • I'd be very surprised if families didn't find great value here as either something you buy or fund using a creative kids voucher… A school holidays coding program with a coding kit the kids get to keep and play with after the sessions. Agree with other comments, like anything you can teach yourself with resources on the web or borrowing books from your local library. Otherwise a structured program whether that be for learning a language, musical instrument, or computer coding can be a more effective way for many people to learn.
