Invention Engine Sample Pack - Teacher Evaluation Kit

The Invention Engine Sample Pack lets one teacher try the whole system before buying for a class. It has the Hub, a set of bits and the cardboard build tools, enough to build and code one working invention: a Cookie Jar Alarm. It is a teacher evaluation kit, not a 10-student classroom bundle.

What's in the box

• 1 Invention Engine Hub
• 1 punch tool and 1 stencil
• 1 USB extender cable
• 35 rivets
• Red, orange and green LED bits (1 each)
• 1 digital display bit and 1 speaker bit
• 1 button bit and 1 proximity sensor
• 1 battery box, 1 battery bit pouch and 1 white button cap

Good to know

• Made by Microbric, the company behind the Edison robot
• Programmed with the free Invention Engine Blocks coding app
• Inventions are built from cardboard, with the bits attached using rivets
• The Cookie Jar Alarm activity is free to download from Invention Engine
