GBThe kit has great promise While this kit has great promise I don't find the lessons detailed enough to do even the first few lessons without significant prior knowledge. I bought this for my 12 year old, but am struggling on my own. The 25 minute videos have good knowledge, but are slow and fail to hold even my attention. Following the steps for Day 3 is not giving the desired results, and attempting to leave feedback says I'm leaving duplicate response.

GBGreat kit and fun learning videos! Great kit and training videos with fun spaceship theme. A couple suggestions for improvement: provide/ sell a weighted base to arrange and hold the Hero and the breadboard. On a related note, use a thinner/more flexible USB cable. These changes would make the wiring and testing more enjoyable. There have been a couple times that the act of untwisting and connecting USB jostled the hero/breadboard/wires and caused a disconnect.

GBThe tutorials are well written but you need an active story to make it sparlke The tutorials are well written and work fine. the progression (so far) has worked well for me. I'm an adult entering this hobby, so the dry presentation is ok. however, were I a 12-year-old just thinking about electronics, the lack of a developed story line would drive me away. the story line is there but frankly you need an actor. you need a person who thru voice and visual content encourages the "astronaut" to fix their craft or they might die! build a little tension! so my recomendation is that the program is great BUT you need a script writer and an actor to perform the teacher role.

GBUnresponsive to queries as to where my… Unresponsive to queries as to where my parcel is. Called UPS and provided tracking number from Inventr and was informed it was not a UPS tracking number. Checked link again and "final" address appears to be incorrect. Have been waiting 4 weeks for this parcel and disappointed that I appear to not be receiving it and company not interested in resolving. Was meant to be a gift for a college lecturer who I'm sure would have purchased more for his class if suitable. I have replied to your email, in fact I've sent you 3 emails (22/23/25th Jan) and 2 contact forms (24th/26th Jan). You have my details. Refund the order.

GBGood value, needs supplements The 30 Days Lost In Space kit is a pretty fun starter kit for the price. The lessons contain some interesting instruction, though I think they leave much to be desired in terms of scripting, sound balancing, and video editing -- they seem to have been done in one take with no script, which implies certainly no editing. They could be a lot tighter and more professional.
