Perfect for my son
Easy to set up and the online editor works great. My 10-year-old learned the basics of Python in a weekend.

Great board, weak docs
Hardware is solid and the speaker is a nice upgrade from V1. Would prefer more printed tutorials in the box.

Python made simple
Love the online editor. Makes transitioning from blocks to text coding very smooth.

Good upgrade from V1
Speaker is a nice add-on for sound projects. Battery holder works well but remember to buy AAA batteries.
