Good but batteries not included
The board works great with Python. Just be aware you need to buy the battery pack separately for portable projects.

Smooth transition from V1
Code compatibility is mostly there. The faster processor makes animations much smoother. My son loves the touch logo.

Reliable Hardware
Used for a competition prep. Bluetooth connectivity is much more stable than the previous version. Highly recommended.

Excellent for STEM Classes
We upgraded our entire lab to V2. The microphone adds new project possibilities without extra hardware. Very durable.
