This Handheld Game Electronics Kit is the perfect STEM project for beginner to intermediate electronics hobbyists. This all-in-one kit is designed to provide hands-on experience with soldering and basic electronics, culminating in a fully functional handheld game device.

Key Features

Engaging Soldering Practice: Perfect for beginners and intermediate makers, this kit includes all the necessary components for you to build your very own handheld game from the ground up. Learn the essential skill of soldering as you assemble the device.

Arduino-type Components: Powered by Arduino-type components, this kit introduces you to the world of microcontrollers and programming, offering a solid foundation for future electronic projects. Note, the chip in this kit comes pre-programmed with the games; there is no need to program the device to play it, just build it, power it on then have fun playing it! This product helps you to start getting a flavour of what can be accomplished with your own customised Arduino programmable projects.

Multigame Functionality: Once assembled, your handheld game will feature four classic games:

  • Tetris: Stack the blocks and clear lines in this timeless puzzle game.
  • Snake: Navigate your growing snake to collect food while avoiding crashing into walls or yourself as you grow longer with every bite!
  • Racing: Dodge obstacles in this high-speed challenge.
  • Space Invaders: Shoot all the enemies before they reach you.

Clear Acrylic Case: The transparent acrylic case protects the delicate components while giving a clear view of your electronics handiwork. The case not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also ensures durability and portability.

16x8 LED Dot Matrix Display: Enjoy vibrant and clear visuals with a combined 16x8 LED dot matrix display (made up from two 8x8 dot matrices) with adjustable brightness. This setup provides a retro feel while delivering an engaging gaming experience.

Educational and Fun: Ideal for STEM education, this kit not only entertains but also teaches valuable skills in electronics, programming, and problem-solving. See the "Scientific principles illustrated" section below for more information.

Powered by USB: Powered using a USB cable (included). Use a phone charger, PC/laptop, or powerbank to power the game for hours of gaming fun!

Soldering iron & wire required. We also sell these HERE.

Kits

Kits are well done. I’ve enjoyed putting them together. Some instructions need improvement.

Hi Paul, thank you so much for taking the time to leave this review, we really appreciate it and glad to hear that you enjoyed putting your kits together. I'm not sure if you used our detailed instruction manuals which can be downloaded from the product pages for each kit? We realise now that not everyone knows to go there to obtain the manuals, so we recently set up an automation to email the instruction manual to the customer immediately after purchasing the kit. We're also very happy to offer instructions or technical support via email - info@thesciencehut.com - thanks again for taking the time out of your day today to leave a review!

Great value for the price

Definitely good quality, came well packaged. Delivery was also on time. Only thing i didn’t like is that the edges on the acrylic were slightly broken off. Other than that, great product for a good price!
