Students will need an Arduino Starter Kit that includes resistors, LEDs, buttons, and potentiometers. I recommend the following kits.
Arduino Starter Kit (available at https://store.arduino.cc/usa/arduino-starter-kit for $110)
ELEGOO UNO Starter Kit (available on Amazon for under $50)
SparkFun Inventor's Kit for Arduino Uno v4.0 (https://www.sparkfun.com/products/14418 for $118)

Because Arduino is an open source platform, you can find many versions of Starter Kits across a wide range of price points. You want to ensure that any kit purchased for this course has the Arduino UNO board, a circuit breadboard, jumper wires, resistors, LEDs, buttons, and potentiometers.

The Arduino software is free for learners using Mac and PC computers. Students using Chromebooks will need to use the Arduino Create App which is free for 30 days and then costs $1/month.

Arduino Software

Mounting circuit components on a breadboard and typing lines of code require considerable attention to detail. Your learner may benefit from an adult sitting next to them during class, particularly as it relates to putting the components in the breadboard. The Arduino IDE is a script-based programming interface where learners should be comfortable navigating the keyboard and typing characters such as (, ), {, }, /, and ;. Students who rely on slow "Hunt and peck" keyboarding skills would do better in my four week class called "BLINK! An Introduction to Programming with Arduino."
