DIY gamer kit (with arduino)
The DIY gamer kit is a hand-held games console that students make themselves by soldering together all of the parts (they will need a soldering iron for this).
Making the gamer is a fun, hands-on way of learning core design and technology skills such as electronics and soldering. Once the students have made their gamer, they can control the screen (technically known as an 8×8 LED matrix display) in different ways, like by coding it.
