Build your own

The board design, the firmware and the web app are open source on GitHub.

  • Firmware and web app: GPL-3.0.

You find the parts and build the board yourself. No ready-made Gerber files or parts list are published.

Planning a school program or workshop

Tell us a few things first. Then we can answer you fully the first time.

Tell us these six things:

  1. 1Your school or group, and your country.
  2. 2How old your students are, and about how many there are.
  3. 3What you want your students to learn.
  4. 4When you would like to start.
  5. 5What equipment you already have, and how much your teachers know about electronics.
  6. 6Whether you need kits, teacher training, or both.

Good to know before you write:

  • All 32 weekly lessons are free to read on this site, with or without a kit. See the lessons.
  • Each lesson takes 45 to 60 minutes. The lessons are for ages 10 and up. Younger children can join with an adult nearby.
  • The lessons need no coding. Students use the dashboard and simple "if this, then that" rules.
  • Plan one kit for every 2 or 3 students, plus a spare. A class of 30 needs 10 to 15 kits.

Making or selling MakerBuddy kits

Do you make electronics, or sell to schools in your country? We would like to hear from you. We look for partners who make kits carefully, describe MakerBuddy honestly, and keep helping learners after the sale.

Tell us:

  1. 1Your company, and your country.
  2. 2What you make or sell today, and how many you can make or deliver.
  3. 3Who you sell to, and where.
  4. 4How you check quality.
  5. 5How you help customers after they buy.
