The DIY Gamer Kit is a handheld games console that you can build yourself by soldering together 40 parts on a custom circuit board. Once the build is complete the console, controlled by Arduino, can be programmed to create exciting games. Children are taught how to build their own games console and program it, using materials and videos that have been created especially for the project. Building and programming the DIY Gamer Kit requires no prior knowledge of electronics, soldering or programming. We think it’s suitable for kids that are new to Code Club, or even those who are Scratch or Python pros! You can get hold of a kit at jumpto.cc/diy-kit/.
