The Grove Beginner Kit for Arduino® is an ideal all-in-one solution designed to make learning Arduino and electronics easier, faster, and more accessible—especially for beginners, educators, and STEAM learners. Unlike traditional Arduino starter kits that require breadboards, jumper wires, and soldering, this kit offers a solder-free, plug-and-play experience using Grove connectors. It includes 10 of the most commonly used sensors and modules—such as an OLED display, buzzer, light sensor, and a newly upgraded DHT20 temperature and humidity sensor—all pre-connected to an Arduino-compatible Seeeduino Lotus board (based on the ATmega328p).
The modular design not only reduces the learning curve for beginners but also supports advanced learning by allowing each sensor to be detached for custom prototyping via Grove cables. With step-by-step tutorials, a 74-page PDF wiki guide, and 12 practical hands-on projects, the kit supports learners in building real-world applications while mastering Arduino basics, sensor communication, and open-source hardware concepts.
Whether you're an individual getting started with microcontrollers or an educator designing an engaging STEM curriculum, the Grove Beginner Kit for Arduino provides everything needed to explore, experiment, and innovate.
Key Features
-
New Sensor Upgrade: Now equipped with the DHT20 sensor, replacing the older DHT11, offering improved accuracy and reliability for temperature and humidity measurements.
-
Detachable Modular Design: All Grove modules are pre-mounted on a single board but can be detached for more advanced use with Grove cables, enabling flexible prototyping and experimentation.
-
Comprehensive Learning Resources: Comes with a 74-page PDF wiki, covering 12 step-by-step Arduino projects, including explanations of hardware principles and coding fundamentals—ideal for classroom or self-guided learning.
-
Grove Unified Socket System: All modules use standardized Grove connectors for consistent "plug and play" operation, significantly reducing wiring errors and time needed to set up projects.
-
Compact and Organized Layout: The single-board format makes it easy to carry, store, and maintain, while also keeping components well-organized during use.
