How to Plan a Custom STEAM Kit

Plan your project

Start with the expected result, such as a moving robot, light sensor, or environmental monitor.

Component checklist

1. Select a controller suited to the project.
2. List sensors and outputs.
3. Check operating voltage, logic level, current and connector requirements.
4. Identify a suitable independent motor power supply when needed.
5. Check tools, breadboards and cable quantities.

Use the Build Your Kit page to save component lists, but always verify real-world compatibility before ordering.
