I used the original BBC Micro back in the day so was intrigued by this. It bears almost no relation to the original but in these days of complexity, something a bit simpler to help kids get on their way is a good idea. This kit includes the basic board and the adapter plus a huge array of inputs and outputs. I won't list them all here but most of what you could expect from a comprehensive kit and maybe a few you wouldn't.Programming was straightforward and easy. I'm familiar with microcontrollers so aware of many of the concepts but didn't see anything that might trip someone up with the exception of one thing. When I first plugged the micro:bit in to the shield, I plugged it in upside down. When I turned it the right way up, it seemed to work OK except for some of the IO pins. I was concerned I had damaged it by plugging it in the wrong way. After quite a bit of investigation, it turned out that it was necessary to disable the LED array in my program before I could use those IO pins. It's a bit odd to have to disable something rather than enable something but it is what it is. I'm sure if you go through all the tutorials etc you are probably guided through this but people with some experience will be tempted to jump right in at the deep end. And other than this, that worked quite well.All the modules appear to be designed to work off 3.3V or 5V which is nice. Though brightness of loudness might be affected. By default, it seems the device can be programmed through a scratch-like GUI system or a version of Python. Depending on age, the GUI might be a good way to start but I would recommend moving to the text-based programming as soon as reasonable. I actually find it kind-of clunky to program with the GUI.The only thing I would say with the sensors is that there tends to be a bit of duplication of function, especially with the LEDs but a little bit with the switches. This is trivial however and better too many than too few. Maybe some blank prototype boards would have been nice too but I'm sure the aftermarket will provide those.So, a very good system for the money. My son enjoyed playing with it as a way to start learning and I think it will grow along with his learning as he becomes more adept. Definitely recommended.

My kid at the age of 11 is interesting in learning code programming. And he loved the kit.

This is a great kit to start programming microcontrollers.The Micro:bit is super easy to program with code blocks or micropython (although I would recommend using code blocks for beginners since you don't have to learn the syntax. You can just use logic to program.) Since it is a Micro:bit, BBC has some good documentation for it. There are also plenty of good tutorials on how to program it with micropython. The micro:bit board itself is already good for beginners and has a lot of things built-in like a gyro and an accelerometer.The KeyeStudio shield is great because it brings out the pins conveniently so that you can connect many common components directly to it. The included modules work well with the shield so you don't have to deal with breadboards and messy jumper wires. It is great if you just want to quickly connect the hardware and focus on the software.PROS:-the modules are good quality and have good variaty. You can do a lot of things with this kit, the limit is your creativity.-The shield really makes the board so much more capable, and makes it more than just an integrated programming board.-everything is in good condition. There is no rust or bent pins like some other kits.CONS:-the price is a bit high for the modules. If you know what you're doing and know electrical engineering, you can get just the components for cheaper and achieve the same things. The kit is more suited for beginners who don't want to deal with the technical electronics stuff and just want to focus on the program.-come circuit boards have rough edges
